Build on excellence. Preserve a culture. Leave a legacy.

Exceptional leadership opportunities don't come along often. The City of Brownsville is seeking an accomplished, visionary law enforcement executive to lead one of South Texas' premier Police Departments, an organization recognized for innovation, community trust, and a culture built on "Service from the Heart."

This is not a turnaround assignment. It's an opportunity to build upon a strong foundation while leading the department through its next chapter of growth. With the full support of the City Manager and City Commission, the next Chief will oversee a highly professional organization, continue advancing cutting-edge public safety technology, develop the next generation of leaders, and guide the completion of a transformative $80 million Public Safety Complex.

Brownsville offers the professional complexity of a dynamic international city together with an exceptional quality of life. Here, leadership is personal, relationships matter, and public service leaves a lasting impact.

The ideal candidate is a collaborative, servant-minded executive who leads with integrity, humility, and vision; someone who understands that the strongest organizations are built by investing in people and preserving culture while preparing for the future.

The City of Brownsville, Texas is an equal opportunity employer.
