Does HRD have a form to fill out to change town selection or do you need to send a letter? If someone has the contact information it would be appreciated

Thanks

---

Posted by: Southside

I think you need to send Human Resources a letter at their address.....One Ashburton Place.......Check the website www.mass.gov

---

Posted by: Officer Dunngeon

No form, just send a letter stating which towns you would like to switch to. Be sure to include your name (obviously!), date of birth, and social security number on the letter. I think you may also have to add the announcement # which is 8655. Send it to:

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Human Resources Division
One Ashburton Place
Boston, MA 02108

No, I would never change it if you have residency, you never know. You can always change your other selections. I would change Fall River.....word is they are hiring I believe 13 people from old list.....don't quote me on that though because it is a rumor and we know all about those.

Posted by: tigerwoody

Shawnr78, yes, i have residency in plymouth, but probably wont be working there due to their budgetary constraints. i am hoping to get on brockton, but that is many prayers away

---

Posted by: Southside

Me too,

I am going through the next F/T academy here in Plymouth in hopes that it will make me more attractive to the Department. I am self-sponsoring so who knows....maybe when I am done, they will give me a shot. With the budget problems it helps me out because it is that much less they have to spend on me.

Posted by: Thimios315

Not to bust balls....but I think departments only pay $1900 a recruit. So,

if anything, you'd be helping them by being able to get on the road

sooner....and not have to wait 6-8 months after being hired (academy

time).

MCJTC upped it to $2300.00 per student officer back in 2002.

Posted by: tigerwoody

hmmm...i should look into doing the full time academy too....how much is it and are there any links?

Posted by: Irishpride

Tiger,
Do a search on this site for "self-sponsor" you'll see this topic has been discussed in great length.

PVD,
I would not change Taunton because they have that Inactive Reserve List. So its entirely possible for them to pull names off their Civil Service List and put them on the Inactive Reserve List without any actual vacancies.

Back on topic, the alternate non-resident choices (except MBTA, of course) are almost always useless. There are of course a few exceptions where some municipalities have so few residents who are interested in becoming Police Officers that there are only a few names on the Residents List, usually those towns are very small and don't hire very often though. I believe in 2001 one of the smaller towns in the Newton Wellesley area was in that situation. I doubt you'll see any cities or large towns get to their non-resident list (usually a city of 100,000 people has at least 700 names on the Residents List).

Don't know about links....You do have to have a Police Chief sponsor you though....like jm said if you do a search you will see quite a bit.

It also saves they town any medical coverage.

thing hasn't been updated in so long!
