I called HRD and the recorded message says that the list will be available and certified on or about 11/3/05. I'm not shocked there is a delay, but I am shocked that it is only 2 days...I would have expected at least a two week delay. I mean they have only had about 6 months to get their sh*t together.



Posted by: smd6169

Surprise surprise. Now I can sleep well tonight knowing disappointment will not be upon me in the morning of 11/1.

Business as usual at ashburton place...

Same Old Same................

They'll spend money mailing out the results on the first, but it'll be another two or so days until they're available online. If they were more efficient, they would post results online, and let individuals request copies of standing if they want them.



Posted by: smd6169

HRD Site states the list will be available after 2PM. They must have heard of cries and acted. Right! Good luck all.

Posted by: dsm290

I'm #17 for Lowell, however, that number may get bumped up due to some of the candidates above me are already on the LPD or in the academy. I'm #355 for the T Police.



Posted by: thelastsamurai

DSM does your name start with a "A"? Was wondering if this is numbered in order... I'm # 67 in the Lowell rank.

Posted by: thelastsamurai

DSM.. I'm Joe with the long last name with "D".. do I go on #67 on your list?



Posted by: Macop

If anyone thinks the standings/list(s) are going to be ready on the 1st or at any other time Civil Circus says, you might as well jump off of a building cause you have a better chance of growing wings and flying away.

They just sent out cards in Aug saying 8 positions were open. I got a card at first but "the state messed up and sent it out by accident". Another CS folly...

(sent out by accident meaining they sent out too many on the new list, not that all the cards or the # of people was wrong)

Does anyone know if Tewksbury will be hiring???



Posted by: wryman

Posted by: fjmas1976

#1 in Framingham and Ashland, #4 MBTA
Maybe it will happen this time..............



Posted by: wryman

I know that the process is 3 canidates for 1 hire. If there is 5 tied in my spot, do they have to interview all 5 or just take 1 from my score?
Example.

1. tie.
1. tie end.
3. tie.
3. tie.?
3. tie. ?
3. tie. ?
3. tie end. ?

I ask because my last name begins with a W.

402B if I'm not mistaken is a police or fire survivor, that is a relative (son/daughter wife/husband) of a police officer or fire fighter killed in the line of duty



Posted by: AFCOP

Anyone else un able to log into the CS online standings page or is it just me?

Then again you could always Join the military like so many of us have and get vet status and trump everyone else...definately helped me... allegedly Im #37 on the Boston list (according to my friend who checked yesterday) of course I can't log into the CS system because the site is down... WTF!



Posted by: smd6169

#37, nice. I am 189 and feel great. I heard Boston will be hiring overlapping classes soon. At # 37 you should be in the 1st round.

I heard that the 534 Civilian or 534 Vet were people who were passed over last time unfairly. They then brought a suit to the town/city so for them to drop the law suit they were placed on top of the list. I knoe this because they put 5 on my list and I was bumoed down.

Ok thanks, it seems to fit. I know of a guy that did sue about being passed over and he is now second on the list for his town. Not sure what he got for a score tho...

Today in the Boston Globe, Commissioner wants 200-300 more officers!!!!!

Good luck all of you going for Boston!

Do you need to live in Boston to work there?

- Nevermind, I found out you do



Posted by: fscpd907

fjmas1976


Framingham never hires off the CS list they ONLY take laterals.



Posted by: FSCPD902

#5 in my town which I heard was hiring 10-12. And about being a resident on the list but not living there...I don't really know how that works but I was still a resident in one town (Northbridge) while I was living in another (Watertown) because I had still been living in Northbridge for the year prior to the test. Who knows if that means anything though..........



Posted by: smd6169

For Boston I believe you do need to live with in the city. Rank may be allowed a certain distance out. Framingham allows (at least last time I knew) a 10 -17 mile straight line distance from the station.

ALL BOSTON RESIDENTS TRYING TO GET ON - Make sure to vote Tuesday in the Mayorial Election. Vote for Hennigan. She wants to add, add, add more officers. Plus, Menino has always had his run-ins with the BPD and BFD.

Since we're throwing political endorsements here Cast your vote for Matt O'Malley, running for city council (at-large) who is pro police, and FOR tossing out the residency requirement, requiring city employees (most notably police and fire) to live in the city after being hired...

Also another pro police city councilor, James Kelley up for re-election... also wanting to add more police to the job, looks like we have quite a few pro-PD candidates on our side....

Here's the official word from BPD:

For appointment to the Boston Police Academy, applicants must take and pass the Commonwealth of Massachusetts' written police examination. The civil service exam is given every two years. The last exam was given on April 30, 2005. For more information, contact the Massachusetts Human Resources Division at 617 727 3777.

In order to become a Boston Police Officer, you must be a resident of the city of Boston. In addition, you must also be a resident of the city for at least one year prior to taking the civil service exam.

In regards to transfers from other cities or states, no commissioner of the BPD has ever hired a lateral transfer, however, under Civil Service Laws it can be allowed. Keep in mind that you will have to take the civil service exam with all other applicants.

From what I understand, as long as you can prove that you were on active duty when the exam is given, you can make it up anytime. I know someone that was deployed during the 2003 exam and took a make-up in late 2004. he was a Disabled Vet so he bumped everyone on his town's list.

I believe they had to atleast sign up for the test( paperwork and their orders), then when they get home they can it.... But if they don't sign up then they are S.O.L....
If someone heard different let us know...
