boston pd question

(Click here to view the original thread on the MassCops Message Board)

Posted by: J5254

does anyone know why boston pd doesn't lift the residency requirement to gain more applicants? I just saw that they are they are testing again. Boston pd looks like a great pd but with me living in nj theres a negative chance.

"testing again"....I thought they were tied in with civil circus....Where didi you hear about that....

Also if a mod could move this under municipal police threads.....

I don't know what exam you are referring to as the only one being held is for the Cadet Program, ages 18-24. If that is what you are referring to, that is completely different than the actual exam to get onto the department. This is for young people who reside in the city that allows training and the opportunity to move onto the force.

its pretty simple. its the mayor. he believes boston jobs are for boston residents, usually to the detritment of the dept in question. bems hasnt met minimum staffing in 5 years. if they lifted the residency requirment, they would have 5,000 applications from emts around the state the next day.bfd and pd as well. oh well. i think the best you'll ever see is 10 and out.

Civil service requires you must have a residency in the community you want preference in for one year prior to the test so you must have a boston address prior to taking the test. They won't change that overnight. Now on the CONTINUED RESIDENCY as long as you are employed as a Boston cop. that's different. There's a ten year cap on it now. And I'm sure the BPPA will negotiate that down to five years, then to two years when contract time come around. But the mayor is a big fan of it. Good luck.

I wish you didnt have to be a boston resident to do the cadet program. It would be nice if Lynn PD offered something like that so I could do it in my own city.

You do not need to be a resident of Boston for the cadets until you are hired. No residency needed for the exam and to get hired. Living in Boston isn't easy on such a small salary though

Moved to "Getting On the Job" since it's about.... getting on the job NOT an EMPLOYMENT LISTING

And no they are not testing again since they are Civil Service....
