The Brookfield Police Department and Brookfield Fire Department are seeking new candidates to fill immediate vacancies. Both departments emphasize the importance of service, professionalism, integrity, teamwork, and a strong desire to serve the community.

The police department is creating an eligibility list for new officers. Officers work 12-hour patrol shifts and can participate in specialized roles such as investigations, K-9 units, bike patrols, accident reconstruction, emergency response teams, and other assignments.

The fire department is hiring firefighter/paramedics for several open positions. Applicants must meet state and departmental requirements, including holding a paramedic license and certification in firefighter physical testing. The department values training and teamwork while providing emergency medical and fire services.

Both departments offer competitive pay, health insurance coverage, pension participation, paid leave, overtime or compensatory time options, professional training opportunities, tuition reimbursement programs, and career development support.

Brookfield operates as a municipal government focused on civic administration and public safety services for its residents. Village Hall at 8820 Brookfield Avenue serves as the main administrative center where residents can access municipal offices and various services (official website). The local government coordinates across departments such as Public Works, Code Enforcement, Finance, and Police to deliver municipal services and respond to resident needs (official website).

Brookfield’s government manages utility billing, property code enforcement, permitting processes, licensing tasks, online payments for services provided by the village—including those related to public safety through the police department (official website).

“Both departments are looking for individuals who demonstrate integrity, teamwork, and a strong desire to serve.”

“The Brookfield Fire Department is recruiting firefighter/paramedics to fill multiple vacancies. The department values training, teamwork, and provides high-quality emergency medical and fire services.

“Members also receive paid leave opportunities for overtime or compensatory time and access to professional training and advancement opportunities. Tuition reimbursement and career development programs help employees continue their education and expand their skills throughout their careers.”
