I used to be on it last year, there are a couple of members on this board still lurking, I'll PM them for you about this post.

Unless anything has changed, you will be considered to carry a weapon after one year of service with the approval of supervisors etc.

Training I cannot comment on, when I was there they had OC certs but that was it. I don't know if they have more in the time that I have left, hopefully the other guys can shed some light.

You do 2 shifts with a supervisor a month and one detail, something like parade etc.

That's all I got for you.

When I was there you had to be part of the "inner circle" to carry a firearam after a year. You also had to beg for training of any kind. Hopefully things have changed for the better. You should try Waltham Aux. Police if that's what you are looking for. I hear they have a half way decent program.

Well, with a name of Wannabe, I can see why they didn't want to give him a gun.

I think you (wannabe1) may want to reconsider your member name. Your name basically says "I'm a wannabe", which would not be highly looked upon. Wannabe's are yahoo's and Want to Be's are good guys.

the blonde female officer on that site looks pretty cute

Hey "Wannabe1", "Waltham has a halfway decent progam" ?? Its better than SAPD, now stick to talking what you know about, and go do your Lima 4's.



Posted by: Wannabe1

Scott, so it sounds like it changed for the better. It was not that way when I was there I am glad they fixed it.

ok? Nice to see that you can profile me from a screen name.
I am a Want to be. As in I Want To Do More than the campus police work I am currently doing. Didn't know the name was that deep I thought it looked better than Want To Be One as a screen name.

I was saying Waltham had a better program. Did you not follow? Did my wording offend you?
And I will gladly do my Lima4's with my other duties for the 60k I made this year. You doing the free aux work?

Apparently someone did not pay attention in reading comprehension class. If you had you would be able to "read" and "comprehend" that Wannabe1 WAS saying that Waltham DOES have a DECENT Aux program. D-O Y-O-U U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D ???

You must be one of those psychic's or maybe you have the gift of E.S.P. How else would you be able to judge his character by his screen name?
Obviously his name struck a nerve with you, that tells me something about you. Maybe you want him to change his name so you can take it. I think Wannabe 2 is still available.

The following was copied directly from the SAPD website...Isnt it pretty retarded to have guys with no police powers in uniforms and carrying guns in a marked Somerville cruiser. At least other aux programs the officers are sworn...

I believe Ashland has the same setup. The Aux Officers don't have powers, but carry.

I dont see how its not playing nice...simply stating an opinion...probably one shared by many. I'm not insulting anyone...just offering constructive criticism about their publicly stated practices.

Depends on your definition of retarded.....

-or-

Maybe because the City of Somerville does not allow/permit/give the option of auxiliaries to be sworn.

Ive updated the site it to reflect the above (as your post actually made a good point).

A. No. SAPD members are civilian members and carry no police powers. Also
members of the SAPD are not sworn in as Reserve Officers.
