From Athlete to Officer. 🏃‍♀️🏈🏀➡️👮‍♂️

We had a great time at the Cal Berkeley Student-Athlete Career Fair talking with student-athletes about turning the skills they’ve built through competition into a career in law enforcement.

Athletes make great police officers. The teamwork, discipline, resilience, leadership, communication, and ability to perform under pressure that make someone successful in sports are the same qualities we look for at SFPD.

Ready to see where your skills can take you? Join SFPD.
