2026 Experienced Patrol Officer
City of Bloomington, Il 4.3
Police officer job in Bloomington, IL
For more information, please visit the Police Information Page. The job of Patrol Officer is general duty police work in the protection of life and property and the enforcement of laws and ordinances. The work involves preventive patrol, preliminary investigation, traffic enforcement and regulation, and preservation of social order and public peace by means of patrolling in cars or on foot in a designated area where the officer is accountable. The delivery of service at the PoliceOfficer level applies to the protection of life and property prevention and suppression of crime; apprehension of criminal offenders; regulation and control of traffic; recovery of lost or stolen property; and preservation and maintenance of social order and public peace.
The Patrol Officer is required to exercise a great deal of discretion concerning basic police responsibility. The PoliceOfficer runs the risk of upsetting the delicate balance that must be maintained between the rights of individual citizens and the safety and protection of the community. It is the duty of the Patrol Officer to interpret the laws and determine which ones to enforce, and decide upon the manner in which they will be enforced within real or imagined departmental police perimeters.
The uniform force is the "backbone" of the Police Department and the focal point for all police activities. All other police services are either supportive of, or supplemental to, the patrol operation.
Some scholars claim that policing a free society is the most complex job in the world, partly because police are frequently called upon to be all things to all people. The popular culture image of a policeofficer does not accurately reflect the reality of policing. If you have chosen to apply, investing a few hours riding with a Bloomington PoliceOfficer could provide a better understanding of the job. Short of that, the job tasks of a policeofficer may generally be found in the policeofficer job description of the Bloomington Police Department Rules and Regulations.
During field training, a probationary policeofficer's primary focus includes:
* Handling a wide range of calls for service
* Generating self-initiated activity (e.g., traffic/pedestrian stops)
* Providing enforcement activity (arrests/citations etc.)
* Maintaining public order when appropriate
* Report writing
* Evidence collection, preservation, storage
* Court room testimony
Probationary officers are frequently challenged to perform basic job tasks under varying degrees of pressure. They may be required to safely operate a motor vehicle under emergency conditions, talk on the radio to the telecommunicator and other responding officers, plan the most efficient route of travel, assess possible threats, consider the need for additional resources and make the appropriate requests in a timely manner, develop a response strategy in route while considering officer safety strategies, and adapt immediately to changing conditions or updated information. Clearly, policeofficers must be able to multi-task effectively to complete the probationary period and consistently perform the job functions of a competent, fully trained policeofficer. 4 Perhaps the most problematic issue for probationary officers unfamiliar with our community is learning the geography. We cannot stress enough the importance of probationary policeofficers mastering street names, locations, and address numbering patterns as quickly as possible. Time spent studying local street maps would be well spent.
* Be at least 20 years of age and not more than 34 years of age* at the time of application. Be at least 21 years of age to accept the appointment. *Veterans' Exemption 65ILCS 5/10-2.1-6 … with respect to a police department, a veteran shall be allowed to exceed the maximum age provision of this Section by the number of years served on active military duty, but by no more than 10 years of active military duty.

2025 Entry Level Patrol Officer
City of Bloomington, Il 4.3
Police officer job in Bloomington, IL
For more information, please visit the Bloomington Police page. The job of Patrol Officer is general duty police work in the protection of life and property and the enforcement of laws and ordinances. The work involves preventive patrol, preliminary investigation, traffic enforcement and regulation, and preservation of social order and public peace by means of patrolling in cars or on foot in a designated area where the officer is accountable. The delivery of service at the PoliceOfficer level applies to the protection of life and property prevention and suppression of crime; apprehension of criminal offenders; regulation and control of traffic; recovery of lost or stolen property; and preservation and maintenance of social order and public peace.
The Patrol Officer is required to exercise a great deal of discretion concerning basic police responsibility. The PoliceOfficer runs the risk of upsetting the delicate balance that must be maintained between the rights of individual citizens and the safety and protection of the community. It is the duty of the Patrol Officer to interpret the laws and determine which ones to enforce, and decide upon the manner in which they will be enforced within real or imagined departmental police perimeters.
The uniform force is the "backbone" of the Police Department and the focal point for all police activities. All other police services are either supportive of, or supplemental to, the patrol operation.
Some scholars claim that policing a free society is the most complex job in the world, partly because police are frequently called upon to be all things to all people. The popular culture image of a policeofficer does not accurately reflect the reality of policing. If you have chosen to apply, investing a few hours riding with a Bloomington PoliceOfficer could provide a better understanding of the job. Short of that, the job tasks of a policeofficer may generally be found in the policeofficer job description of the Bloomington Police Department Rules and Regulations.
During field training, a probationary policeofficer's primary focus includes:
* Handling a wide range of calls for service
* Generating self-initiated activity (e.g., traffic/pedestrian stops)
* Providing enforcement activity (arrests/citations etc.)
* Maintaining public order when appropriate
* Report writing
* Evidence collection, preservation, storage
* Court room testimony
Probationary officers are frequently challenged to perform basic job tasks under varying degrees of pressure. They may be required to safely operate a motor vehicle under emergency conditions, talk on the radio to the telecommunicator and other responding officers, plan the most efficient route of travel, assess possible threats, consider the need for additional resources and make the appropriate requests in a timely manner, develop a response strategy in route while considering officer safety strategies, and adapt immediately to changing conditions or updated information. Clearly, policeofficers must be able to multi-task effectively to complete the probationary period and consistently perform the job functions of a competent, fully trained policeofficer. 4 Perhaps the most problematic issue for probationary officers unfamiliar with our community is learning the geography. We cannot stress enough the importance of probationary policeofficers mastering street names, locations, and address numbering patterns as quickly as possible. Time spent studying local street maps would be well spent.
* Be at least 20 years of age and not more than 34 years of age* at the time of application. Be at least 21 years of age to accept the appointment. *Veterans' Exemption 65ILCS 5/10-2.1-6 … with respect to a police department, a veteran shall be allowed to exceed the maximum age provision of this Section by the number of years served on active military duty, but by no more than 10 years of active military duty.
* High school diploma or its equivalent
* Citizen of United States
* Ability to possess a firearm
