Is it true that a college degree is required in order to get special state police powers under 22C 63?

No, graduation from an SSPO academy or MPOC academy will also work.

To answer my own question, no new hires yet. I understand the process of finding new officers has been challenging. I wish anyone success in their endeavors for employment at BI.

I was talking to (who was not one of the people I interviewed with the first time) that I would most likely not be able to make it given time constraints with my wifes appointment.

So what does this Lt. tell me....he tells me how competitive the process is and rambles some other crap about needing to move the process along. He said he would put me down for Xpm, and that if I could not make it, they would understand the need to support my wife.

As expected, I was not able to make it for the Xpm interview after going with my wife to her appointment, so I called and left a message for this Lt. stating that I could not make it and that he could call me to reschedule if he liked. No call ever came, and for the best I would say.

What kind of department makes you choose between supporting your wife in the midst of a health crisis, or going to a job interview???

I had to reschedule an interview with another PD recently in order to accompany my wife to another pre-op consult. This particular department handled it very differently. This department said to me "family always comes first" and they rescheduled without a problem. This is the kind of department I want to work for.

This is not to say that BIDMC is all bad. In fact the two guys I interviewed with were very sharp, and I appreciate the info and help from MITPO. This situation just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Where is all this negativity with the BIDMC police department coming from??? I just don't understand the why someone would want to bash the command staff?

Please explain Sir

There is a good core there, along with benefits, pay, and work schedule (4and2). The two police lieutenants that were hired have a long background in law enforcement, are well educated and trained, and strive to do the right thing at BI. In time everything will come together.

The Department needs to learn its place? I can educate them right here so feel free to direct them here. ITS A HOSPITAL, put all the silver or gold on a uniform you want and strut around like a cop, but in all actuality YOUR A HOSPITAL SECURITY GUARD

I have to disagree, if they are cops then so be it, there is a difference.
Union, how long have you been at BIMPD

Refer back to the last comment

Onion1 must have been one of the guys who didn't make it through the backgrounds checks because of an issue in his past, possibly with an old employer or something like that. Prove me wrong if I am.

WTF?

I am a big advocate for the idea that if you are in ANY uniform you are on my side. We all do some aspect of the same job and those guys at BI are all about working with everyone... so long as you give them the respect they deserve and would give back to you if you needed any help or favors from them.

No thanks, ill call Suffolk. Also refer to my next statement.

So if you want to bash any other form of law enforcement i.e. security, police depts. or whoever, you obviously don't understand the power a united front in law enforcement can provide.

It is indeed a fact that all but one of the original police officers have quit or were asked to leave. Why? I don't know. You'd have to ask the Chief or someone else in the "know". I do know that a new police supervisory staff is in place and one new police officer has been hired. I believe there are 5 or 6 more openings as resumes continue to be received.

mkpnt,

It's SpellCheck Gestapo, not Gustapo. Maybe you were referring to the Italian Secret Police instead??

If BIDMC has an almost 90% turnover rate within 1 year, what do you think your chances are for a long term enployment opportunity there? C'mon guys be real here. There is no union to speak of and you are at the will of the management there. You screw up, they pounce on you & your LE career has a black mark against it. Unless you are an older retired cop and can give a flying fiddle what they say & write in your employee file, stay the heck away.
Remember, it's not the guys you work with who will mess with you, it's management. You have a couple "cheese eaters" on your shift, you might as well be walking up to HR for your exit interview. 'Nuff said. HC
