| About two months ago, maybe three MSP got a little barracks there close to the RTI building, I would think that would be a pretty sweet gig for a trooper. If that's DOD in the white trucks there still there also |
| Last time I was on base unarmed civilian security manning the gates, air force security guys manning the otis gate. Don't know about CG but I believe they were building a new gate aswell. The last time I saw uniformed MP's at the sandwich/bourne/falmouth gate was back in 04 I believe. |
| You might want to look a little more closely next time, the guards on the two army controlled gates (bourne and sandwich) are a contract security company called ISA who are armed (carry sigs) there were armed guards on the gate (army augmentees) post 9/11 until the change over to the contract security company in the last few years. The white trucks you see are a private security contractor hired by the USCG to patrol USCG facilities at ASCC, MSP has set up shop on Camp Edwards at the invite of the ASCC Commander, the Air Force still controls Otis and mans the falmouth gate during a set schedule but not 24/7. that's the scoop....and dont go getting all excited at the possibility of there being a DoD police agency back at Otis.... if you want DoD Police look at Westover, Natick(who recently advertised for a DODPO vacancy), and Devens they still employ a civ DOD police Force |
| Yeah, I knew they were civilian contractors at the main gates, didn't realize they were armed though. I was under the impression however that the guards manning the otis gate once inside MMR were mostly retired military and on civilian status? Do you know if the CG ever completed that gate complex near the mess hall/softball field? |

| idk which one they're usuing but i was talkin to the swing shift sup. who may be the day shift sup. now and apparently otis cops are attending magistrate court once a month, statie's help out a good deal too. good to have that resource assigned to flight. i guess that sheriff's dept by the base wanted to hop on patrollin' the MMA after those kids busted thru the gate but command and the state nixed that quick haha. Otis is quite a different place im hearing now. im leaning toward transferring back myself. |
| mpd61, Is that something new with Hanscom going to Worcester? There is, (or at least was) a satellite U.S. District Court room on Hanscom in one of the administration buildings, where traffic citations issued to civilians by the Air Force cops and other matter were heard. |
| Don't look here (Devens) Ft Dix in it's infinite wisdom put a hiring freeze on us. We have 5 vacancies but Dicks says we have enough guys. (What was I thinking!??) |
