Employees appointed to this classification will have their monthly salary reduced and will accrue hours of PLP 2025 on the first day of each pay period as outlined on "Section 2113 - Personal Leave Program (PLP)" of the CalHR Manual. The salary range(s) included on this job posting do not reflect the reduction in pay.

Pursuant to this requirement, applicants for this position will be required to submit fingerprints to the Department of Justice and be cleared before hiring.

In addition, the investigator must qualify to carry a firearm, have a valid California Driver’s License and a good driving record, and be able to operate a motor vehicle safely. The position requires substantial field work (majority of the time) and it is typically more efficient for the employee to travel directly from home to the field work location.

“Each class of public officers or employees declared by law to be peace officers shall meet all of the following minimum standards: (a) Be legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law.”

This amendment removes the prior requirement that peace officers be U.S. citizens or permanent residents seeking citizenship. Non-U.S. citizens may now qualify for peace officer positions if they are legally authorized to work in the United States under federal law.

Applicable peace officer classification specifications will be updated to reflect this change upon approval of the State Personnel Board.
