Job Description
#    #    #


The Centennial Lakes Police Department is seeking a Police Chief to lead this joint-jurisdictional law enforcement agency serving the cities of Centerville, Circle Pines, and Lexington in Anoka County, Minnesota. These communities offer small-town charm, natural beauty, and convenient access to the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. 
THE CENTENNIAL LAKES POLICE DEPARTMENT
Operating from their Circle Pines police station, the Centennial Lakes Police Department serves just over 12,000 residents across approximately five square miles with a 2026 budget of $3.38 million. In 2025, the Department responded to 9,212 calls for service. Staffing includes 17 fulltime and one parttime sworn officers, two fulltime and one parttime civilian clerical/records technicians, and three parttime civilian community service officers.    
The Department is overseen by a six-member Governing Board comprised of the mayor and a council member from each city. The Board meets quarterly and additionally as needed, with the City of Circle Pines acting as fiscal agent. An Operations Committee is responsible for administration and operations and consists of the Police Chief and the three city administrators. 
WHY APPLY 

The Centennial Lakes Police Department (CLPD) is an outstanding opportunity for its next Police Chief to lead a high-performing, professional, and progressive police department into the future. The new Chief will lead a department that is exceptionally well trained and well equipped, in an area with easy access to big city amenities while retaining the small-town charm of three smaller communities. This low-crime region offers vibrant neighborhoods, excellent schools, parks, trails, lakes, and other regional amenities that contribute to an outstanding quality of life. CLPD enjoys strong support from the communities it serves and is grounded in a culture of public safety and professionalism. The new Chief will have the opportunity to lead a relatively young workforce in this close-knit department, where the motto is "Serving with Courage and Compassion."
