Galveston Police Department Administrative Bureau

The Administrative Services Division searches for qualified persons who are interested in a career with one of the most progressive police departments in the state. We actively recruit individuals from all walks of life. We expect candidates to have high ethical standards as a cadet and certified peace officer. We achieve this goal by applying a testing process that is fairly long, rigorous, and intense. Only the top five percent of all applicants will be accepted by the end of the process which means that only the very best candidates are hired to protect the citizenry of Galveston.

Captain Thom Karlok

Under the purview the Administrative Bureau are the following divisions: communications, records, training and parking enforcement.

Additionally, the Administrative Bureau is responsible for the issuance and compliance of all Burglar Alarm Permits within the city limits.

The Administrative Services Bureau provides support to both the Operations and Investigative Bureau, so their officers can provide you, the citizens of Galveston, the best police services possible.
