Two of my friends work there and love it. The chief is an old MSP Colonel, good guy! As far as getting on I don't know how difficult it is, they both transfered from another college so I don't know if that made it easier.

SPT102 is our resident village idiot.
Every post is misspelled and grammatically flawed.
I don't know if he's trying to be funny, or if he's simply an imbecile.
Either way; the act is getting old.

Jim C., the Italian Stallion.........



Posted by: dcs2244

I applied for the job while working at another campus in another state...I was offered the job the day of my interview with Chief O. I had no political suck in this state.

A good resume' with training and experience goes a long way.

Political suck helps, too!

Tony R. is reserving a place on the dogwatch for me in the event of my retirement!

Yeah the Italian Stallion with the drool bib and helmet on !!!!!

I applied and got the job without any connections. I lucked out and went to the municipal academy. They pay really well, lots of OT and they do send there officers to advance training. Worked with several good people, but like anywhere else they do have their issues. M.I.T may be a campus police department, however, its still a good job.

This is a fine institution, employer; but you still have the issue of skills. Professional police obtain skill from the job, and thats something that campus police will never glean.

You have to know your limitations, so dont chase a kid into somerville, shoot him in the back of the head then claim self defense.

This isnt suffolk county.

So what makes you think that a campus police officer cannot glean their police skills on the job ? I work at a University and we deal with career criminals, respond to felonies in progress, and do more than our share of "real," police work. We have a number of former officers who left to work for their home town and will be the first to admit that they now do less police work.

NewGuy - You were honest, but BUObserver deliberately avoided answering your question.
Someone that refuses to or simply cannot back up his or her statements isn’t worth your time and effort.
Remember the sign at the beginning of the park:
Please Do Not Feed The Trolls.

You might want to check with the "Duke" on this site. I believe the chief has a drawer full of resumes/applications of folks wanting a job at the 'tute. It can be challenging to get in, but once there you're golden.

I'm sorry, but something you said was a bit off base. "Professional police obtain skill from the job, and thats something that campus police will never glean". I spent five years as a campus cop at a large university in New York State, and learned more from that experience then as a full-time municipal cop for a small town MA dept. I saw more "action" as a campus cop then I ever did working for that town. It's not about campus vs. "real" police. It's about where and who you deal with on a daily basis. PS...at the time I worked at that university, it was unarmed. After several serious assaults, armed robberies, rapes, and murders later...they decided to arm their cops. Still think there's nothing to be "gleaned" from working as a campus cop?

I really can't believe any campus police officer obtains the same level of experience as their munincipal "counterparts". Just look at the population BU, MIT, & Northeastern serves. If campus cops are worthy of real police work why are they not working for Boston, Cambridge , or the MSP? Its because the didn't qualify, then some relative opened the Universty PD doors closed to just about everyone else.

BU cops spend more time riding bikes up and down Commonwealth Ave like pee wee herman than doing anything remotely related to law enforcement. They follow around girls half their age, ride along the river, and do things most of us would on our days off. Its a 40 hr vacation.

How about next Monday or Tuesday? Make sure those PNG orders are negated though!



Posted by: masscopguy

To answer the first question, as a rule any of the large urban College PD's are hard to get into, partly because they have little turnover due to the good pay. Harvard, MIT, BU, Northeastern and even Tufts don't have a help wanted sign out to often. You are better off targeting the other colleges get some training and transfering.

The Chief of MIT's nephew works at a small college outside the city so you could say there is integrity in the hiring process. But, Sgt ST got hired at MIT so every once and a while a bozo slips through.

As for BU observer, you don't know what you are talking about. A city campus cop sees just as much activity and answers more calls than many small town cops.

What about me, can I come and tour the new station??? I want to see if they still have have my old locker.

BU Observer i a royal ass!!!



Posted by: mpdcam

I have the pleasure of working with both MIT and Harvard. Both very good departments. The other guys on here are right. They see plenty of stuff, more than some small towns. They make their share of arrets and complaints and deal with the scum of the earth just like any other dept. Oh boy, so they cant write Chap. 90. Who gives a crap. Chap. 90 is over rated. (Let's make the insurance companies more money). BU Observer is a tool!!!

Well, well, well. So it's bickering that goes on here. So sad. You know something, most of you folks know we're all in the same boat. We're all CAMPUS COPS and it doesn't matter one iota who employs us. We all do the same damn job. Some do more 'guard' work, some less. It's still the same damn job. I've been at Harvard 22 years and do not look down on any other college cop what-so-ever, nor do I stand in awe of any city or town or state cop. We're all freakin' cops. I worked with a guy who once put down a department because they didn't carry guns and didn't have a cruiser. They weren't cops because of that. Could they arrest people? YES! Did they arrest people? YES! Did they handle the same stupid calls that our counterparts in the municipalities handle? YES!

Every job has it's share of B.S. and every job has it's share of excitement. What I can't stand is the pecking order. Give it up will ya? I'm new here, but I've been reading posts here for a couple of years and some of the silliness just makes me want to dope slap some people.

Are we family or what? Are we all on the same side or what? I mean, really.

Ok, attack me at will. I can take it. After over 28 years of being in law enforcement, I like praise and just dismiss ridicule as ignornance.

And if I spelled anything wrong, I really don't care.

However, I LOVE YOU GUYS!
