The Hayward Police Department is comprised of a staff of 191 full time and 25 Reserve sworn personnel, and 112 professional staff. The Department supports a Community Policing philosophy and offers excellent promotional and special assignment opportunities. Reserve Officers enjoy a minimum of 9 training days per year.
