This is what you can look forward to.
You will face an exciting, varied and responsible leadership role in the youngest police corps in Switzerland. Together with a committed team, you contribute daily to safety in public transport and shape the future of the transport police. In doing so, you work in a dynamic environment with diverse internal and external partners and have the opportunity to significantly influence the further development of the transport police and drive sustainable change.
This is what you can achieve.
- As Head of Transport Police Region East, you lead the region in terms of personnel, expertise and finances and are responsible for three bases with around 45 employees.
- You plan, control and coordinate operations and actions in your area of responsibility, lead police forces at major events and are prepared to regularly perform leadership duties on call.
- As a member of the management team, you advise the commander of the transport police on police tactical and strategic matters, actively shape the further development of the transport police and contribute to the successful implementation of the strategy.
- You prepare concepts, operational orders and operational documents, conduct situation assessments and develop needs-based operational dispositions.
- You maintain and develop cooperation with internal and external bodies (SBB, police corps, offices and authorities) and represent the interests of the transport police.
This is what you bring with you.
- You are a flexible, resilient and assertive leader with high social competence and a strong sense of responsibility.
- Thanks to your many years of leadership experience, you lead employees in a goal-oriented manner and promote motivating and performance-oriented collaboration with your integrative leadership style.
- You are well networked in the police world and follow current developments in security police issues with interest and foresight.
- You have strong planning and organisational skills as well as sound police tactical knowledge and bring experience as an operational leader at major and special events.
- You have a recognised further education in the police environment. Ideally, you have already completed the CAS FIP (Leadership in Police Operations, SPI) or are willing to undertake this training.
- For collaboration in our national environment, you have very good German language skills in spoken and written form (level C2) as well as good French skills (at least level B1).
