Department Info:


Our agency started 20 years ago and we have a large amount of loyal officers that started in the beginning and are getting towards retirement. This isn’t just a problem at Federal Way, but many agencies in the NW. Because of that, attrition will keep us hiring for a few years. A large amount of officers that stay at an agency until they retire is a positive sign that the agency is a good place to work.

Benefits:


Sick Leave

Officers are given 4 hours per pay period for sick leave, up to 96 hours a year.  This can be saved to a max of 1080 hrs.   Up to 25% can be cashed out at time of Retirement*

Vacation*

Based on department longevity, Officers accrue hours every pay period.  They can “carry over” up to 2x the maximum yearly amount.   Probationary Officers are not allowed to use Vacation or Holiday during FTO.
