Lake Charles Police Recruiting Day Set For February

Have you ever wanted to serve the public? Do you like helping people while having a rewarding career? Are you tired of what you have been doing for a living and looking for a change?

Then this is for you. You can be part of a great organization and make a difference in the Lake Charles community all at the same time. The Lake Charles Police Department (LCPD) is holding its next recruitment day in February of 2024.

This is your chance to start the process of joining a professional law enforcement agency and make a difference while being rewarded at the same time. The job is one of those where you can leave each day knowing that you helped someone in need or you may have changed their lives forever with your help.

I served 11 years as a Deputy at the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's Office on patrol helping our citizens with whatever they needed. It was one of my proudest times in my life putting on that uniform and serving my community where I grew up.

You can now do the same thing and all you have to do is take the first step. On Saturday, February 24th, 2024 the LCPD is holding their next recruiting event. It will take place at the Lake Charles Event Center in Lake Charles starting at 8:00 am.

The starting salary for a new officer in 2024 at LCPD is $47,112 and you also get medical, dental, and vision benefits. You will also have a retirement system in place. You also have all your uniforms and equipment provided to you along with a take-home police car or unit as we call it.

So how do you sign up? Email Sergeant Larry Moss at lmoss@cityoflc.us or call the PD at 337-491-1311.
