Has anyone heard about the Quincy PD hiring? I keep hearing rumors that a couple are being looked at from the list to enter a class near the summer. Anyone know about this?

Remember...WE NEVER LOSE!

A girl I work with just had an interview with them recently. They put a lot of people through the most recent academy but i'm sure they will have a few openings for the next class. Good luck... awesome $$, busy dept.

I believe they have a decent sized group in the academy right now, combined with the MBTA.

Paper says they want to put 3 more women on.

Quincy just hired 7 (6 are in MBTA academy now). Word is that the dept. is looking to hire 15-22 for a spring academy. The new hires are needed to replace a very large number of guys retiring. Very very busy city, alot of felony calls. But it seems you need to be somewhat connected to get on in that city.

Yes, Quincy has always been a very political city. It would take an act of congress to lateral into QPD...

Posted by: Macop

Act of Congress, Ha! It would take Jesus H. Christ himself to drive ya to city hall with a recomendation and they would probably throw him out and tell ya to go jump in the river.

The last lateral was from Abington PD, word is it was a very political move, inside job with the mayor etc etc....but for whatever reason he went back to Abington PD from QPD after a short time (2 yrs ?)....why he left is anyone's guess

Posted by: Macop

From what I have heard Abington recently got a new chief who is supposedly very squared away, maybe the officer wanted to work for him?

Not a new Chief he was the Deputy Chief/ acting Chief and the current PT instructor in the Weymouth Academy which I'm proud to say I graduated from.. I would also work for him given the chance...

He was one of the officers with the WaterWorks incident in Quincy.After that it was a good move to go back where he came from.

Not that I know him first hand but word through the grapevine was that that lateral from Abington was a bag with a serious complex who was known to flash the tin a few too many times at bars and may have ruined it for many other hopefull laterals for years to come.

Anyone know what # QPD got to on the civil service list...and what # they might go up to for the new 15-20 hires they might put on?

Posted by: tripleplay

What about the lay off list?

You hit the nail on the head, that's who he is. His lateral was easier than others, his old man was the president of IBEW and this kid had more dimes than anybody I know. He was supposed to go MSP but after Waterworks that would never happen, even with a roll of silver dollars.

Yeah, but atleast he got to try on their Super Bowl rings.

Here's an article about it in the weekly dig.

Scott

Posted by: evidence

Wow, although I hate anti-cop articles the weekly dig made a few good points minus the grammatical errors.

Again, although I do not personally know this lateral turned waterworks celebrity and I did not witness anything, I did hear that he was at a piano bar in boston and was in a bidding war for the piano player to play his song with another guy. The other guy outbid him and officer streetlight flashed his badge to try to get the piano player to play his song anyway (complex). The other guy laughed at his Abington badge and punched him in the face. haha.

Also jumped into fight in a Brockton bar while drunk and off duty with the shield flashing and authority running through his veins. Not sure of the outcome of this incident. But if true, I love the political hackness which still seems to supercede civil service to this day.

What a friggin joke, welcome to the hack world of shittachusetts. It never ceases to amaze me.

JUst wondering if any QPD on this site, would have any info on laterals to Quincy and if there has been any updater to the hiring??????????

Posted by: Chree

QPD is hiring 25 new police officers and they are starting Sept 26th. 5 are already academy trained, so will hit the streets soon. There will possibly be another hiring next year, but only, at most, 5. I believe they got down to 95 on the last list. The Abington officer had to many issues in Quincy, plus his friend is now the Chief of Abington. Laterals are damn near impossible!!! Everyone and their brother, it seems, wants to be on the QPD. I'm just lucky I grew up there and had residence.

Posted by: Pacman

I'm an 11 year veteran, Training Officer, DT Guy, Firearms Armorer, Teach Hazmat, Terrorist Response, etc etc etc. Great resume, I called Quincy after a friend of mine got on. Lt. told me that laterals almost never happen, and he flat out told me that unless you know someone (Because I live out of town) it'd be damn near impossible. He asked why Quincy, I told the truth, money.

Any Quincy guys in this discussion who would like to discuss who is getting on this next QPD class and who they knew to get the job?
