Anybody know where there is a written document describing this? There are obviously a few discreprencies.
My other question is the associates degree angle. I have seventy something credits. The standard for an associates program is sixty credits. Any body have any experience with this working or not working? Just thinking ahead for something.
Im going to challange this one it has happened we had an officer in my department that had the MP academy and some college. He got his powers. The officer did this in 1998. So in closing We mock what we don't understandmpd61 said:Simple way to put it is you need any combination of TWO (2):
1. Reserve/Int academy (or higher)
2. Associates Degree (or higher)
3. 4000 hours (2 years equivalent) Sworn experience.
Any Two of the above= SSPO waiver
:wink:
Got it now?
P.S. I'm gonna want to call B.S. on that MP experience counting. Danvers said no way to a guy at DMH a while back!

Just contact the MSP Licensing Unit @ Danvers for requirements. I used to drop off annual certification paperwork there for DMH at the last minute. (Thanks Carl!)
As far as your seventy credits, scroll back up to Mikey's post above!
The three (3) qualifiers that I listed previously are it. Any two (2) of them will do. And I did forget that MPOC is qualifying as well.
BHCCPD,
4000 hours Campus Police (unlicensed)?= WTF?

we have officers working for campuses in massachusetts who are not licensed. Two years + Reserve Academy=SSPO qualifys thats WTF
When you say "officers who are not licenced" do you mean sworn police under Like MGL CH 73 Sect.18 or with sheriff's powers? Can you please clarify?
Bottom line is ANY two years, 4000 hours SWORN experience (as Police Officer) is part of the formula. The term "unlicensed" seems to need clarification. Please?

Hey you old Hound! Still in H-town?Macop said:Why get a waiver. Its better to go to the academy and get the trainng, it may be useful if you want to leave the state and take a municipal job else where. Florida approved my S.S.P.O trainng for a lateral, but I ended up not going.
