And your point is?

Hey, thanks for the heads up, I guess !?!?!



Posted by: daveh

What is up with all the moderation? I mean, if someone goes off topic, we have a whistleblower to say something. Anyone ever just feel like speaking their mind without worrying if someone will take it wrong? GEeeZZ. If this forum is all politics and no goofing off, what fun is it? Our job is stressfull enough; we need levity. Don't you agree?



Posted by: Gil

Sorry, I guess I was just having a serious moment when I read your post and thought to myself "why?"



Posted by: PearlOnyx

Not for nothing smatson, but you really can't complain about being moderated. Nobody erased your post right? Nope. I think Gil's comment was well placed. When you come out in a public forum stating "WNEC" sucks, you may want to explain why or what reasons you have heard. Otherwise it's not all that helpful to others on the forum.

Holy Cross takes the cake fellas! Believe me!

ELEVEN ROCKS! always.



Posted by: Tackleberry22

Ok; just curious! Why do you say Holy Cross stinks?



Posted by: SSPO#11

2 words Mini-Van....lol sorry saw that is a previous post. It's great college for retired cops who don't want to do police work. Because believe me you don't do ANY police work at all.

SSPO... generaly your right. Mini - Van, Suffolk University security guards make more than Patrolmen, Not Armed, Lucky if you receive training outside of CPR/in-service, most Anti-Police administration you could ever immagine.

Ill give it this tho, it is what you make of it, if you do do police work (and you can) prepare to get an asschew (you probly wont get fired although sometimes I think that one is up in the air). And our chief (although i dont see eye to eye with him all that often) has the biggest set of proverbial cohones on him ive ever seen. If it was up to the Administration we would be doing things like room unlocks and probly sweaping the floors somewhere, thanks to the chief all we have is really a patrol function which is a good thing, also how many people can say they worked for the former head of the State Police. I would doubt there is a perfect campus law enforcement job, just some in better shape than others.

Hey SSPO#11 do you have more HEAD room in a Taurus or mini van??? atleast with a mini van theres more room for a little Lima Tango!!!

Okayyyyy....



Posted by: fscpd903

Off topic but SSPO 13 was the most discipline group I ever seen

fscpd907,
How do you know DEAN is the 3rd Worst College To Work For




Posted by: fscpd907

#1 Answer the phone "Public Safety" not "Police"
#2 Pinkerton Security everywhere!
#3 Having "town police" repsond to disturbances on campus.

PS. I read #3 in the Metrowest Daily News.



Posted by: daveh

Oh yeah, THAT is pretty damn bad. (laughs holding stomach)



Posted by: DUKE1005

Hey fscpd907-

You wouldn't happen to know anyone by the last name of Piso would you? I heard that he was one of your finest Officers over there! If that's true...I would have to say that puts your fine academic institution at the top of the list for being THE WORST CAMPUS TO WORK FOR!

Oh, and by the way...I work at Dean too! Yeah, it kind of sucks from time to time but we all have to start somewhere!



Posted by: fscpd907

Right JP was a dispatcher not an Officer / Does Dean even conduct background checks ? How was he hired ? You can wish MR the best of luck from all her former co-workers she is a good hire and a good Officer.



Posted by: pickels

fcspd907,

First the "town police" do not respond unless we ask them! We handle everything ourselves. Yes we do have Pinkerton but, they are all in the police academy for us! Some of the Pinkerton people are our best officers!

Heh, umm are you trying to help or hurt your cause? I think you just ended the discussion.

-Mike



Posted by: DUKE1005

Yeah, MR still works with us...she's a good egg...talks a lot but a good egg! I have no idea how JP slipped through. We're not the FBI when it comes to screening people but I would like to believe there is some sort of filtering process. Never mind us though...what were you guys thinking when you hired him? Anyways, for most of us, this job is just a stepping stone. The administration at the college sucks! The police department, however, does not! Over the past year, we've weeded out most of the aholes! The administration has made some changes too, so who knows what this next semester is going to bring. It goes in cycles though like many departments.
I don't know when you read the article about FPD responding to disturbances at the college but it was definitely untrue! I've been at DCPD for almost a year and as far as I know FPD responded to 1 domestic disturbance call. The reason for that being that the student (a Chinese international exchange student) knew only to call 911.
Oh well, what can you do?



Posted by: fscpd903

Bottom line everyone, pretty much all campus police work sucks in some way, Nothing aginst Dean guys but our FPD calls us to help them with disturbances and we have a pretty damn good working relationship... As for JP, well who knows, good kid and its good for a laugh when he answers the phone on the radio... As for SSPO#13 being the most disciplined, thats not what I heard (Again no offence to anyone who was in it).... Once again Eleven ROCKS....



Posted by: DisturbedCop

Whoever feels the need to bust on other departments needs to refrain. If you have something to say about my department or officers I work with, feel free to come into Roxbury, it is a beautiful area, even on a Saturday night. Shots fired isn't just from the T.V. show cops.

P.S. Give me a yell when you graduate from the Full-Time Academy!!!

Fscpd 907,

I don’t want to open a can of worms here but doesn’t your should patch say Framingham State College Department of Public Safety? And the official name of your department is Department of Public Safety and Police Services. What does that mean?
nfire:



Posted by: j809

Actually allot of college police departments are called Department of Public Safety & Police Services, such as UMASS Dartmouth and others. All that means is that they have public safety officers(security,ISO) and police officers under the department. I don't know much about FSCPD but they are pretty professional. Now ARTCOP, i know not all of your guys went to the FT MCJTC Academy. Are you guys armed yet in Boston, I thought you guys were trying?



Posted by: DisturbedCop

Actually all of our Campus Police Officers are Full-Time Academy trained. Yes all 3 of them. No we aren't armed as sad as it is. MassArt is the most liberal campus on the face of the earth, so we can forget about being armed any time soon. As far as my last reply goes. I am not one of these people on their high horse that thinks they are the next Colonel of the State Police. I understand where I am, and my role. I just don't appreciate any one else bashing my department.

Hey Dude! jump on that Green "E" trolley going by, and ride it to the end of S. Huntington, and see if you got what it takes to join the "fighting 3-11" at the VA!

ARTCOP

MassArt is located in a bad area and thank god Wentworth is across the street in case something should happen and you need back-up. I listed MassArt #1 for that reason / when I worked at MCA the gas station next to Smith Hall was held up twice at gun point. The next factor was that sometimes MCA does not have a sworn officer on duty for an entire shift. I could not understand how we could answer the phone "Campus Police" if the shift was covered by ISO's with no police powers. It is also crazy not to have all the ISO's trained on the LEAPS computer / could be times when you would have to walk back to the station and run everything yourself. I am not bashing I am just stateing the factors that make it a bad place to work in my opinon. It is not your fault they don't give you all the proper tools to do the job correctly. MassArt does have well trained officers who want to do the job, but it is sad that most of the shift could be spent giving van rides to college staff all over Boston by well trained CPO's. These are just my opinions on the question posted.



Posted by: fscpd907

Artcop

I forgot about the hand written log / maybe time to buy a typewriter / then in 20 years get a computer. The station was not secure and locker rooms located in public hallway with no lock on the door. At anytime a person could walk into the back of the station from a stairwell and look into Officers mailboxes and then just walk into the dispatch area. It was always fun to hand out basketballs when working the desk.



Posted by: PPD30

Folks,

All I have to say is UMASS LOWELL. I can not even explain how bad this place is. Forget about the fact that there has not been a contract
for 3 years. My first and last year I made 26,000 with details. I wish I had never left my job at Mass General police. The only good point was I got my academy which got me to where I am now. I have never been treated so poorly in a workplace then when I worked there. There are fantastic patrolman there. and they are all trying to get out. Horrible, Horrible, Horrible. They just had a test for 4 positions. only 76 applied and with the way cop jobs are out there that speaks volumes. It was a year out of my life I can never get back. I would tell you more but I would not want to Defame anyone personally. Do your self a favor and keep digging holes for a living if UMass Lowell is your only option. If you have any questions My email is posted I believe.

Add Merrimack College to that list.



Posted by: PATS246

I am a former campus police officer. I would have to say the worst place to work is Brandeis University. Such a Mickey Mouse operation monkey show over there. Total micromanagement. The words "officer discretion" has no meaning over there. I worked for about 2 years there and the place had a revolving door, so many people came and went during my time there. They also have a very weak Union which will fight for nothing.

And in response to your comment about Merrimack College as a bad place to work. I think I know why you don't like it there. I have a pretty good idea without mentioning any names I worked for the same individual and that individual was very much disliked, and he tried to screw anyone over at any chance he could get. Won't mention names, but I'm sure were speaking of the same person. Said person likes to come up with make work, instead of doing any actual police work.



Posted by: PATS246

You can add Brandeis University to that list. The school administration is totally anti-cop (extreme liberal institution), but what is worse is your own department administrators don't support you. That place is a real joke. Unarmed, weak union reps. Won't fight for anything. I worked there for over two years. They don't want you to do any police work, or make any decisions on your own without consulting with everyone from sgt. up to quad directors. I could go on and on, but I won't. Ask around, I'm sure you'll hear the same, or at least you won't hear anything good about that place.



Posted by: sja813

GPD

Yes I do believe that we are talking about the same individual And he is still very much disliked...I guess some people just have bad Karma, Merrimack has the same problem as Brandeis officers are strongly encouraged NOT to make any arrests WTF is that....maybe it has to do with that person moving from brandeis to merrimack and bringing his wack job policing philosophies with him...



Posted by: eglock72

I worked at Brandeis from 1998 to 2001,within that time it took me three years for them to send me to the academy. As the others have stated, the place is the WORST to work for. The union is not only weak but the old timers in union office do so much "back door politics" with the chief it makes one extreamly sick. The union officers only make it work for them and not the whole group as a union should.

To give you an idea of how messed up it is listen to this!!! At the end of the year they have a huge dinner on campus for all of the alumni. If they do not have enough shuttle buses going around from the Campus Ctr. to the University Presidents home residence in Newton they will take a cruiser off the road to play bus driver. Another one is when they send you to in service training at Waltham Police the Chief will give you a holster and a red man gun for hand gun retention. THEY DON'T EVEN CARRY.

And the all time favorite practice is when they a dance or event "with off campus people" they will have metal detectors and armed WPD officers along with a Brandeis cops. It will never change they will keep hiring people that do not have a clue or hire someone who wants to be a real cop. And those real cop types leave with week to days of starting at Brandeis.(Or should I say BRAND-X) Well I just figured I would give my two cents worth.



Posted by: Happy Cop Here

I think that gun nut who nearly puked in the wastepaper bucket when he found out that he couldnt carry his gun at the small college that does came from Brandeis. He wouldnt shut up about the place, how awful it was etc.... Now we hear he is back there, carrying his keys, flashlight and probably his small gun concealed in his tighty whities.





Posted by: FghtNIrsh17

I def second PPD30, what he says is the truth. However for the last test they gave only 47 out of the 76 that applied showed up to take the test. LOL what a joke UML is. Someone mentioned a mickey mouse dept. go check out UML. Like PPD30 said, nice group of patrolman but other than that the stories are endless.

Posted by: cjm74

I was once a former Brandisian and thank god I was able to be released from a horrible nightmare. Mickey mouse isn't the word. That place is a circus filled with all kinds of clowns. There is a lot of [b]"Wasted Talent" that is currently employed by that horror show of a department. The truth is out , about a department that is run by custodian for a chief. For example, non academy trained employees driving police cruisers with no police powers. Talk about liability and accountability. What a joke. Brand-X is the worst. Anyone who wants to be a police officer need not apply!!

ARTCOP, I hear you guys have to make coffee for the students is that true??? Since you are at it I take my coffee cream with two sugars.



Posted by: PATS246

I would love to know what that individual who you said puked in a wastebasket, left that small college with a firearm. The real reason why he left, or asked to leave. Kind of a mystery to me. I heard a couple different stories.



Posted by: cjm74

i DEFINITELY KNOW WHO THE PUKER IS

WHIMPY



Posted by: cjm74

GPD11,
THE MYSTREY PUKER IS LIKE A LOCH NESS LEGEND. NO ONE KNOWS IF IT REALLY HAPPENED OR NOT



Posted by: cjm74

Oh one more thing about Brand-X that I thought the law enforcement community should know. Its pretty pathetic when u have a chief oh excuse me scratch that a Director say to u that ,"M.G.L doesn't apply here" or "we don't do that here". Yah that place breaks more laws than it up holds . How about a Lt. that tells u to quit because you don't kiss the students asses. Great manager of people. Tough pill to swallow when u just get back from 16 wonderful weeks at lovely NEW BRAINTREE(Nothing against the Troopers they trained me well). Thank GOD I'm free!



Posted by: eglock72

Now lets talk about the staff who have been there since the beginning of time. For instances what about the a certain Sgt. (nicknamed O.U.I.). He
has always had trouble working a full shift a wake. Ah!!!!! I can remember thoses over nights hearing an all to fimiliar phrase come in over the radio," 15 to control, check of Pollack all in order." Boy I really miss those days!!!!!!!!!NOT!!!!!!!.



Posted by: cjm74

Brand-X bed time @ 1201 hrs. Meanwhile all kinds of shit happening, but u have to look the other way. Eric beat u r record of leaving after academy. 25 working days and I was out the door.



Posted by: PATS246

How about having a student with a suspended license who drove around campus, and was told and emailed numerous times by the Chief, and detective, not to drive(how pathetic is that by itself). They told her not to drive. I saw her driving one day and stopped her for operating after suspension. I radioed it in, the Sgt. who responded didn't know what to do and was all angry at me b/c he didnt know what to do and I interupted his TV time ( he sat in his car with his windows rolled up and wouldn't talk to me). The girl got out of her car and was sitting in the middle of the road screaming and crying. (disorderly arrest???) NO, I was instructed not to do anything....... The so called Brandx chief was on the phone with Waltham PD to find out what to do....very pathetic. (this is pretty cut and dry) Waltham PD showed up and issued her a citation for operating after susp. She should have been locked up right away for disorderly. But no, I was instructed to wait. It was a big cluster f**k. I think the whole thing took about an hour and a half. The so called chief and so called detective had to come to the scene. I called for a tow for her car. But no, the so called chief had the detective driver the operator and her car back to her off campus residence. And then when it went to court the detective requested the charges be dropped. That place was so pathetic , so incompetant. After that incident, I learned my lesson and did what they wanted me to do. that is nothing. I did nothing except pick up my pay check and work on my resumes. But thankfully all that bad experience at brandeis has made where I work now such a wonderful place. That when I have a bad day, I just think about Brandx and it all goes away. Just one of many stories.

At brandeis they have all the police badges, police stickers, shirts etc. But they don't want to have anything to do with police work.



Posted by: PATS246

At Brandeis if you are educated and have knowlege of the laws and how things really work. You are labeled as a trouble maker. There should be a sign at the main entrance saying that "the laws of the Commonwealth do not apply here".
We had a Lt. who worked there (now chief at another school) who used to play back phone and radio tapes for no reason whatsoever. Only to hear if someone was rude on the phone. He would make copies of the tapes. He randomly listened to the tapes and made his own copies, to try and find something on someone. The union sat on there hands with that one. The union wouldn't do anything for you unless it affected them personally. (old timers/do nothings)



Posted by: cjm74

GPD11,
Now that the horrible nightmare has past both of us by, I can appreciate my current employer that much more. Everytime I go to work and load that firearm and know that I'm able to utilize the DISCRETION that makes me smile all that much more. I can remember that awful feeling of driving down South ST. and seeing that sign for BRAND-X. I was always tempted to turn around, but I knew that someday it would always just be a bad dream. Like I said tuff pill to swallow when u have to look the other way and u know some punk BRAND-X kid is laughing right at u.
There was a time I caught a student swapping plates, but I went through chain of command and it took them 45 minutes to decide what to do!! ARE U KIDDING ME!! Big slap in the face!!



Posted by: cjm74

It's BOOBS like that who ruin campus police reputations, b/c there are a lot of well trained officers who work in the campus field.



Posted by: Happy Cop Here

You two are making me laugh my ass off...... Sounds like a haven for idiots. Luckily, you two made it out with your sanity.



Posted by: PATS246

Those are only a few of the stories. That place is a real circus show. I wouldn't recomend applying there if you wanted to be a "police officer". I could write a book on that place. When I started working there I was badge #13. By the time I left (2 1/2 years) I was badge #4.
They want you out writing parking tickets on illegally parked cars. But probably 99 out of 100 tickets written will be voided by the Chief. None of the Sgts. know what they are doing. We had domestic violence issues, g/f-b/f physical abuse. Roomates choking and biting one another. But yet the Sgt. in charge just passes it off for residnce life to handle and everyone can hold hands and "talk it out". They didn't want to do anything under 209A b/c they didn't even understand the 209A laws. That place is a big liablity. They don't have firearms but after 9/11 the school hires a Waltham police officer to sit at the main entrance 24 hours a day for about 4 mos. After things "cooled down" they had the Brandeis police officer at the main entrance at certain hours. Apparently terrorists only strike at during regular business hours, and usually enter at the main entrance. Big smoke in mirrors show.

Ok if this Lt. you are talking about is the same Chief at another school that I used to work for then not too much has changed....he wanted to have the recorder moved into his office at one point when i was still there, just so he could monitor all of the phone calls and so that way it would also be locked in there at night when he left, so no one else would be able to listen to it, ok WTF good is it if no one can get to it if needed (like for a report) HEllO this guy is a real dumbass. but I do find it funny that he did the same thing over there.... Old habits die hard i guess



Posted by: PATS246

Yeah this individual was a real winner. At first he would trick you in to believing that he had some good ideas or was smart. But then after a few weeks you realize. When he wanted to change the whole way the department operates. I have a few stories. I dreaded him coming into work and seeing his stupid little car. He was out to screw over anyone, playing back tapes for no reason other than to find out how people are on the phone. Micromanagement!!! It goes to show you that just because one has a few college degrees doesn't necessarily mean you know everything. Just ask him about 4th amd., he claims to be a whiz at it..... Not to mention bad breath. I can't say that guy impressed me too much or anyone else i know that I worked with. Just someone who couldn't make it anywhere else. I heard that he once got promoted to sgt after like 20 years b/c they had no one else to promote. real winner.

Posted by: Dogger

I believe that the gun nut from Brandeis who likes to puke in barrels, is the same individual who has a problem with the title "Campus Police". He took it upon himself to delete the word "Campus" from his shoulder patch.



Posted by: ShakeEmDOwn016

Yup, with a big black sharpie. Imagine that, having the cahones to deface a patch on a uniform issued to him. I bet he would die for the new patches that just say POLICE on them now. Wearing the uniform home every day to get 3 or 4 egg McMuffins for free......


That's all from me. Tickle, Tap and Screw.......


See you guys soon!!! Cutter, chirp me when you read this....



Posted by: cjm74

GPD11,
U forgot the time that moron of a LT. seized booze out of his jurisdiction. Talk about 4th violation. What a BOOB!!



Posted by: PATS246

Oh you mean the Lt. who was so big on the 4th amd. and was his self proclaimed specialty. You mean the time that he "seized" a female walking down South St, Waltham out of his jurisdiction; and made her dump out her alcohol. That guy was a big dummy.

Yep he did the same thing over there at MCCP...everyone thought he was really smart but when you can only communicate with your officers by e-mail and don't have the balls to say anything to thier faces that should be a big screaming red flag....oh wait he would have the secretary relay messages to us sometimes maybe when his fingers got too tired to type anymore, and I think his favorite word in the english language is Memo...every FREAKIN shift we came in there was a new memo in the book...the stupid little car you talk about wouldn't happen to be a subaru outback would it, Apparantly the students at merrimack don't take much of a liking to him either because I had only been there a week before some student smashed his windshield. he used that as an excuse to take the unmarked home at night and whenever I would get it in it it smelled like dog...I think he used to bring his smelly dogs for rides in the crusier..



Posted by: cjm74

Yep that subaru was named the "GREEN TURTLE". GPD11 has that copywritten. I chased that certian LT. out of my dispatch, because he asked so many stupid Q's. I think I scared him because he would have one of his Sgts ask me if I was feeling o.k. What a pussy!! I heard he was going to be a priest at one time? I wonder???

The average time for an arrest at holy cross is 10hours.

I came in at 4:00 PM one day and there was this random kid handcuffed to the chair in the report room. I asked the Officer there wtf is this? He said he has been in here for 2 hours the administration is still deciding if we should arrest him or not! LOL! We'll since AB+DW with a knife is serious (even for god) they decided to lock him up. He was finally transported at 11:30PM to Worcester Police Station. That was like a year and a half ago. THERE LAST ARREST! What a joke.

All I can say is that I wasted one year at Brandeis, the union is non existent unless it involves the three E-boob members and their best interest. the DIRECTOR will and has been quoted as saying "I will bend over backwards for these students" thus undermining the credibility of the police officers and their duties.



Posted by: PATS246

You hit it pretty much on the head with that last post. The union "old timers" won't do anything unless it affects them directly. You could have a field day w/ greivances over there. But the union won't back you up b/c they are "old buddies" with the DIRECTOR. Another quote from that DIRECTOR "I have worked many years to establish a positive relationship with the BRANDEIS COMMUNITY, you will not undermine my authority...." Loser...

Yep he did the same thing over there at MCCP...everyone thought he was really smart but when you can only communicate with your officers by e-mail and don't have the balls to say anything to thier faces that should be a big screaming red flag....oh wait he would have the secretary relay messages to us sometimes maybe when his fingers got too tired to type anymore, and I think his favorite word in the english language is Memo...every FREAKIN shift we came in there was a new memo in the book...the stupid little car you talk about wouldn't happen to be a subaru outback would it, Apparantly the students at merrimack don't take much of a liking to him either because I had only been there a week before some student smashed his windshield. he used that as an excuse to take the unmarked home at night and whenever I would get it in it it smelled like dog...I think he used to bring his smelly dogs for rides in the crusier..[/quote]

I found that he wouldn't say anything, but he would leave a MEMO in someones box right before he went away on his days off. I can just see those foolish memos. This guy would walk around the campus on foot at nighttime just to catch you sitting in the cruiser somewhere, or try to catch someone doing somthing there not supposed to be doing. I would love it, I would see him poking around while I was sitting in my cruiser just watching the world go by. As far as I was concerned, a PO sitting in a cruiser is part of the job, monitoring the campus. But no you had to be walking around and interacting w/ students who didn't want to be bothered with you. I heard that he rolled into work after a week with a Chief's uniform on and the admin told him to lose the uniform, is that true. And thats unfortunate to hear about his windshield : :P

MassArt PD does make coffee for the students and they have also been known to cook pancakes.

I told u the director at Brand-X used to be a toilet cleaner. Has no police experiance and doesn't even have a academy. 25 yrs of undermining and back stabbing people has caught up to him. Another quote from the director, "We do things the BRAND-X way"! Well last time I checked the Brand-X way is not only the wrong way, but also the f- up way!! Hence the revolving door syndrome. When I was at the academy I was told by my fellow officers that a new hire w/ academy training walked out 4 hrs. into his 1st shift. That's f-up!! Can't say I blame the kid.

Are they cooks or cops

#907 I bet you made the BEST pancakes!



Posted by: DisturbedCop

#907-You really took a step forward from working at MassArt, to Framingham State. Congratulations on taking a giant leap forward in your career. By the way, I hear that you had some practice in making pancakes here at one time. Feel free to come serve me some when you aren't busy.



Posted by: mazz

I don't know who is making the pancakes but they better drop some off at Wentworth



Posted by: PATS246

At Brandeis the campus POs are taxis, repair men, butlers.



Posted by: fscpd907

I was Officer Bickfords at MCAPD Made the best coffee and pancakes . Artcop I hope you know this is all in good fun. We all know that working at any college PD has it good and bad points. I wish you guys the best and will cook for ya anytime.

#907



Posted by: DisturbedCop

#907-Of course this is in good fun. In fact I was just discussing how much you love MassArt with one of your ex-coworkers here. He told me how much you loved handling the overtime. I don't think much has changed since you left. I can say that I haven't made coffee yet, and I don't plan on it anytime soon. The brass takes care of that. Oh wait I have to go unlock a door.

GPD

His big thing was "community policing" and foot patrol at MCCP, He used to make us walk the campus in FRIGGIN January with 3 feet of goddammed snow...he didn't care b/c he just sat on his fat ass in the office, but when it was nice out (summer) he would walk the campus also along with the other officers to "interact" with students and yes he would show up in uniform He is by far a class act.



Posted by: PATS246

I think this is how we felt when he was around. Or when one of his new foolish memos was in the book :no:

That dumb bastard!! I was sitting around in empty dorms watching TV. HAHA if he ever knew he would have blown a gasket.

Brother-

At 03:00 you should be fishing for stripers or checking your lobster traps in the canal. Just kidding, if you’re not saving the town of Attleboro Sunday, why don’t you stop in?

With regards to the "Revolving Door", it seems that College's "Private" really dont give two shits about people coming and going. Poor Students, thats all i have to say



Posted by: cjm74

Union,
College Depts. that have ex- Troopers or Municipal Officers care about the revolving door. They want a solid, well trained department. My chief was a N.H. Trooper and he is all about bettering his department.



Posted by: union1

My Chief is not only an x-Trooper, he also ran the state police, expirence has it that he dont really care. So I dont know about that.

As a member of MassArt Police/Public Safety it's one screwed up place but like any place your just trying to get your foot in some door some where. There are my likes and dislikes. Like some of the students, my partner, and my comp time. Dislikes almost ever person at the top of the totem pole that's the whole campus, the staff, the faculty especially, our lack of equippment, our open door policy to the whole campus, the escorts to the busy sections of Boston during rush hour traffic, lack of training, not being able to take time off when needed, etc. One of the biggest problems with the place is the people in charge of PUBLIC SAFETY. They have all been kidding cops their whole career . The sad part is they don't know the law as well as the officers serving under them . Some have great dreams for the place that will never happen and others are always pissing on the trees to mark their territory. We did had a great Lt. a little over a year ago he retired, he knew his good guys and his not so great guys, but he stood tall for his men and would give the totem pole the crapp and they would listen. The reason the listened to him was he was a real cop for over 40 years. Now that's what the place really needs. As ArtCop said we got three highly trained officers and motivated to do the right thing but as usual with any campus enivironment our hands are tied. Now I'm sure these problems are a common problem with most if not all campus police departments. Some better than others but as far as MassArt goes it's a place to work and make a name for yourself as long as you have people watching your back (your partner) for the snakes lying and waiting to strike, but that's a nother story!!!!



Posted by: PATS246

Mass Art sounds almost like Brandeis. No wonder they always have ads for Campus POs all the time too.



Posted by: fscpd907

XRacerX

The Lt in question was a great guy to work under He cared about all the Officers assigned to his shift and taugh me alot about police work. The MCAPD has a command staff that has never worked outside the walls of MassArt and does not seem to care about the Patrolmen/Dispatchers/ISO's working hard to make MCA the best it can be under tough working conditions

Posted by: cjm74

Union then he doesn't have the backing from administration or he doesn't care about his men/ women U must work at EMERSON , cause there was a P.O. in my academy whose chief ran the STATE POLICE and he was from EMERSON



Posted by: ejk55

I noticed that Tufts has been hiring. How is that dept. to work for? Just curious why I see them online with open positions so often.



Posted by: fscpd907

I think it depends on which Tufts campus you are assigned to from what I hear I could be wrong I know I have been in the past.

Hey Manni so you finally left Brand-X. Oh by the way I was dealing with a dog and BEEs last night on patrol.

CJM74.. no secret bro.. i do work for Emerson. Who was in your class? (for some reason I feel I should be getting ready to laugh"



Posted by: fscpd903

I think fscpd907 needs a hobby.... Way to many posts...



Posted by: mikefo

Tufts is always hiring. Clasic case of the revolving door. They seem not to care about their officers, and show total lack of support. If you can get on and get the academy then get out, good luck.

How could he find time to join us for a run, he was too busy talking about MSP or Everett or accusing someone of being "that guy" or doing stupid impressions of movies nobody ever saw.



Posted by: ecpd402

Hey I was on a part-time schedule due to Everett and the MSP. Also I made sure "Dean Big Brother Almighty" AKA JD got me out of the run. CJM74 my daughter is fine. The second daughter is due to arrive any day. Hey Manni and john barleycorn I was at a class at the MSP academy and SSPO14 was there and WEATON is in the class

Babson is the "Premier" unarmed Department! Chief Jackson is looking for a few good men. Good Pay/plenty details. It is the Bomb if you can get past the keyturning/unarmed part.

Now can we close this thread, or are we going for a 10 page record!!



Posted by: fscpd907

I heard that in the past Babson has put non-academy trained just hired people out on patrol after just a few weeks of in-house training.

Thats pretty sad SSPO#11 that you double posted that message to be promoted to cadet... I have already emailed Gil and told him about your shady practices. It may be high time for you to return to HC, now that your gonna be a day shift meter maid.

Well atleast you'll be able to etirw stekcit forwards instead of backwards like your HC teammate.

Can't end this topic. It is my duty to demean and demoralize Brand-X. I could make this thread go to 20, but u guys might be scared of the truth about Brand-X.



Posted by: cjm74

907,
Brand-X does that. Non academy trained personnel driving police cruisers. Unbelievable!! Talk about liability



Posted by: JohnBarleycorn

Boy CJM, You really have it in for Eddie. He misses you. Brandeis is one of the finest College/Univ depts in Waltham. Just ask P1.

You think it is so much better where you are now!?! Don't forget, when you left behind Brandex, you left behind Alwina.

Of course, you had to steal her away from Bill first.

It might be just about time to add that other College dept in Waltham to this list anyway. Although the Favorites would certainly disagree.




Posted by: cjm74

Sutherland,
Why must u make me talk more about that place. I remember when Alwina or whatever her name was( god how could anyone pregnate that women) said to another officer ,"Why do u want to leave Brand-X aren't u afraid of getting poked in the eye". That's those peoples perception of police. Getting poked in the f--in eye They have no idea what a police officers function in society is, wether it be campus, state, local or federal. typical liberal. Shoot me if that other Clinton gets in. We'll all be holding hands, because there are no bad people in the world. They're just misunderstood Bulls---t!!! As for Eddie he's a spineless jellyfish who cares only for himself. Boy I feel better. P.S I love where I work now. We get shit done!



Posted by: cjm74

Barleycorn,
U spelt Brand-X wrong.

I don't care the day shift thing is computer generated. I'd rather be on days than doing "MOUSE CALLS"

As usual you suffer from diarrhea of the mouth and constipation of the brain. I talked to three guys in #14 this weekend and they said there is no WHEATON. They said there was one guy from NSCC but he never came back Monday of Week #3 after they jumped all over him for sneaking into his hole to fix his rack during an inspection Friday Week #2. You remember, "you're a liar, a cheater, lazy, blah blah blah..."
