The Council makes planning and policy decisions for residents, and oversees the City's $253.2 million budget. Issues currently challenging the City include development, quality of life, and traffic.

Milpitas Police Department is looking for Police Officers to serve a diverse community by performing law enforcement and crime prevention duties, which include but are not limited to: controlling traffic flow, conducting investigative work, and performing a variety of technical law enforcement tasks. Police Officers also patrol the City in computer-equipped vehicles, make arrests as necessary, interview victims, complainants and witnesses, collect evidence, and prepare written reports.

The selection process will consist of an evaluation of the applicant's education, training, and experience as stated in the application and responses to the Supplemental Questions. The Supplemental Questionnaire must be completed in full; responses such as "see resume" or the like will be considered incomplete applications. Applications will not be accepted after the job closing date. Candidates whose applications best match the need of the position will be invited to proceed in the selection process. Additional phases of the selection process for Police Department positions will consist of one or more interviews, personal history statement, Department of Justice/FBI fingerprint check, polygraph examination(s), background investigation, psychological screening, and pre-employment medical examination.
