Re: Massport Police?
I went to the SSPO academy with 3 of em, they always bragged about how they took a job there to retire. It is an excellent dept they are very low key. They carry guns and have nice eqipment, I visited one of my classmate at the station, it was kind of hidden, I forget where it was at. I'm told it can be as busy or quiet as you wanna be. I know they patrol the Black Falcon terminal and a few other places, lots of details. Frankly i'm suprisesd it is being posted, its a very political job. out of the 3 guys I know 1 was an aid for Gov. Cellucci and was hooked up with that job when he left, one knew a state rep, and the 3rd transfered from the parking dept to the P.D I'm sure the parking job was political as well. Here is something you may find funny, one of em told me that while they are going to the SSPO academy, parking booth attendants were going to the MPOC and coming back to take tickets in a booth.

Re: Massport Police?
Massport PD is responsible for patrolling all thier properties like the fish piers, Black Falcon ship terminal, Massport bridges, etc. SP does have jurisdiction at the airport, but Massport PD does patroll parking lots and the Massport buildings located around the airport. It doesn't sound like much, but it is an excellent job if you can get it. It almost takes an appointment from the Governor's office to get that job.

Re: Massport Police?
What kind of academy certification are they looking for? Do they send you off to 22 weeks of traning or do they require you to have that before being considered :?

Re: Massport Police?
As far as training goes they generally will go to the SSPO academy from what I've been told, as far as requirements to get the job well knowing a big name politician would be a start..
Re: Massport Police?
Massport PD is a great job with good salaries and the ability to work lots of o.t. and details. You should be able to make 70k pretty easy. There is still a lot of work to be done to be considered a bona fide PD, But the potential is there. Training is also pretty good with the new active shooting program in place(paintball for cops). I encourage academy trained individuals to check it out(massport.com) under the job title of Port Officer.

Re: Massport Police?
I agree. Money's not everything. I make really good $$ working for the DoD Police at Westover ARB. However, the boredom, and lack of proper authority is a killer! But, We all stick it out here because for 50+K/yr. it gets the bills paid, kids fed, and Mom's happy. We all know that a happy Mom makes a happy house

Re: Massport Police?
Is this correct? If so, that sucks.
My understanding is that since MPAPD is a State Agency under SSPO Powers and is not a Recognized/bona fide LE Agency, that guys with Full-time academy would lose their FT Academy Cert. because they would not have been working for a "Police Department". So if you have FT academy and you go to MASSPORT and say like 6 years later you want to go back to a Municipal PD, you would have to go through the Academy again..... Because you (FT Cert.) cannot be out of LE for more than 5 years.
Is this correct? If so, that sucks.
Re: Massport Police?
Negative to the FT cert expiring in that manner. You need is to carry police powers and attend in service. I had an LT leave for a municipal after a long time on the job, about 8 years after attending an MPOC, without any problems.

Massport Police Hiring Process
I got a call back from Massport today for an interview. Has anyone else heard back from them? I don't know much about the Dept. Anyone with any info, it would be most appreciated. Thanks.

That cop is a fool. They make killer dough and lots of OT. While not the most glamorous job in LE, it's all about the sheckles at this point in my "career". Can I be his substitute for that position? :shock: Poor decision on his part I think.

Re: Massport Police Hiring Process
I applied there back when they were hiring in August. From what I hear, It's a great job to have and you get nice pay, equipment, and lots of details according from what one officer told me. There's not much action but it's still a wonderful job to have, it's just competitive to get. Good luck.
