Reviews for Police Officer in City of Auburn, WA
Police Officer
Police Officer (Former Employee) - Auburn, WA - April 15, 2021
It's a law enforcement job. The PD overall is a good place to work but there needs to be changes in upper level supervision. The City is overall good to its employees. Auburn PD officers work hard as they are under staffed for the call load compared to the other agencies around the South Sound. Expect to work hard every day with little slow time.
Cons
There are too many to list, but not employer related.

This is a fast-paced, busy department.
Police Officer (Former Employee) - Auburn, WA - July 7, 2019
Officers who have entered this department from major cities have departed due to the workload and lack of staffing. The entire region is suffering from lack of qualified applicants, and many departments in the immediate area are recruiting amongst themselves.
Pros
LOTS of overtime available. Varied specialty assignments for officers.
Cons
The pay scale is below where it should be, and the mandatory overtime due to lack of staffing is driving even more officers away.
