LCPD Offers Incentives for New Recruits and Lateral Transfers

The Las Cruces Police Department is offering a slew of attractive financial incentives for new recruits to its 51st Training Academy and for current law enforcement officers who are considering a lateral transfer.

The new incentives come as the department extends the closing date on accepting applications for its 51st Academy. Applications for new recruits must be submitted no later than July 30, 2021. Early submissions are encouraged.

 Recruitment and retention incentives for LCPD Training Academy cadets with a 36-month commitment:
