Anyone have any info on North Shore Community College Police? I see that they are hiring... the picture of the 86 Blazer "cruiser" on their website tells me that they might not be everyones first choice when looking for a police job...

Just look at the Lynn Campus and all the stuff that happens there, you guys have your hands tied most of the time just due to LPD/MBTA territory.

....As far as nothing good will come from this place..well we've had a lot of officers move on to city...and state agencies from here...
|
|
Sounds kind of like MassArt, maybe not as bad though.
|
|
I have visted the Lynn campus once and all I can say is..............good luck cause your going to need it down there!! |
|
What the hell is this crap about unarmed colleges are looked upon as "security guards"?
|
|
I agree 100% that exposure is experience. BUT....this set up they have over there is horrible. They aren't respected, they aren't armed, and they have a very low budget to have more than one officer in a car (patrolling) at one time. In my opinion.. If you have police on your shoulder you should be armed. If not...go work for the mall.. It's the same position. NSCC is a commuter school...Next to nothing ever happens there.

As a student of NSCC also I can say aside from the student parking tickets for students in staff space, they walk around, open doors and deal with a dead battery or two at the Danvers Campus.
I am not dissing them, its just when you build a campus on the top of a hill in the middle of no where (relitivly speaking)......there is not much that is going to be going on anyway. I have talked to a few of the PO's thier and they seem pretty level headed accept for one that I think was pulling my leg---or was just a whacker. I have visted the Lynn campus once and all I can say is..............good luck cause your going to need it down there!! |

Sounds kind of like MassArt, maybe not as bad though. As far as using a place that is horrible for a stepping stone, I advise against it, from personal experience. When you work at a slum, be it any job that sucks, you run the risk of ruining your career as much as it helping it in the long run. I don't consider it a stepping stone if someone is continuously sh*tting on you. So choose, but choose wisely.

Yeah EM, I was thinking the same thing... I'm going to be passing on this golden opportunity lol!
|
|
Not that much police work with them from what this lowly student has seen at the Danvers campus, more of a doorknob jiggler and a door opener when needed. I've heard things are different in Lynn, but I can't verify that.

I have a friend who used to be a SGT at NSCC, he said that it is an absolute joke. They make 1 arrest every 2 or 3 years and they have no relationship with the Lynn PD. He also said that the LT. and chief have no education and graduated from the reserve academy back in the eighties when they had a coloring test. Law wise the officers don't know which way is up and it's a giant lawsuit waiting to happen.

A campus police officer that doesn't carry a firearm is a glorified security guard, sorry but it's the truth. At least if they had dorms they would do a little police work (A little that is).

The officers in the SSPO academy at this time will go through excellent training to do what? Absoloutely nothing. The SSPO academy was devised because the State wanted to use the academy when it wasn't being used for the RTT class. So they devise an academy that isn't recognized by any municipal departments in it's own state. Sounds like a brilliant scheme to me. It's like running a 26 mile marathon and winning the marathon, but you forgot to sign up for the marathon. A campus police officer that doesn't carry a firearm is a glorified security guard, sorry but it's the truth. What would they do on a felony stop, hold there streamlights and pretend it's a glock. At least if they had dorms they would do a little police work (A little that is).

Who are you the Chief? You want me to find out more, i know guys i went to the academy with in Nahant, Salem and Beverly, Danvers, Swampscott. Maybe someone has something good to say about your department. Reputation goes along way sir.
