That's MA for YA!"
Seriously though, it doesn't make any sense. All a particular city or town would have to say is that the officer will be a full time employee and they get the waiver?.
The training standards for part-time/reserve officers in MA are significantly less than the requirements for full-time LEO's.
part-time/reserve = 120 HRS.
full time = 960 HRS
Does Pinkham realize how stupid this sounds? I don't think it is a money issue either because it cost more for the FT than PT academy. Anybody have some inside information on why MPTC would have such a ridiculous clause?
