After the Goldsboro City Council approved pay raises for the Goldsboro Police Department on Feb. 12, the Goldsboro Police Department is hiring.

After the approved pay raises the Goldsboro Police Department’s base salary range is between $50,126.77 and $79,200.99. The Goldsboro Police Department also offers numerous incentives for its employees.

“You look at the other things we want to do, attractive and respectable housing at every price point, opportunities for schools, opportunities for parks, opportunities for economic development, so much of that stems from public safety,” Goldsboro Mayor Charles Gaylor said. “If someone is scared to live in a certain neighborhood, or if someone is scared to go to sleep at night they’re not going to perform the next day at school or at work or whatever it is. So, having a police force that is highly, highly competent, is trained, is ethical, is sound in technique, and is fully staffed and equipped, I think is a foundational component that you simply have to have.”
