Welcome to the HPD web site. We appreciate your interest in a career with the Houston Police Department, one of the finest law enforcement agencies in the nation. If you are serious about pursuing a career in law enforcement, are willing to take the time and effort to do what is necessary to apply, then there may be a place for you at HPD.

The HPD Application/Selection Process is demanding and much will be expected from every applicant that applies from the outset. To join the Houston Police Department, you MUST meet ALL requirements, submit ALL required documents/paperwork, pass ALL testing and phases, and meet Specific Medical Guidelines.

Your Training at the Academy as well as the daily rigors of a Houston Police Officer require mental and physical toughness. Before you apply you should ask yourself three (3) very important questions: Do I meet ALL HPD Requirements?; Am I physically fit?; and, Am I serious about becoming a Houston Police Officer?
