I started a separate topic so that it wouldn't get bogged down in the Brimfield particulars.

Here's the question issue I like to get comments on.

What it appears the MPTC is saying is that if an officer from out of state moves to MA and the MPTC finds that the officer's out of MA training is equivalent to MA, the MPTC will issue an exemption and the officer can work in a fulltime position ( assuming current CPR, F/R Criminal Law Exam and Firearms Qual.)

Yet for some reason that same officer is not qualified to work part-time. Last time I checked the training standards for part-time/reserve officers in MA was significantly less than the requirements for full-time.

Can anyone give a rational reason for this other than "That's MA for YA!".

Curiousity got the best of me so I called MPTC and asked about this. They think it is just as foolish but...... MGL only gives MPTC the authority to grant waivers to fulltime officers.

What would seem to be the answer would be to make the position fulltime(all be it at very low pay).


[-X you said Brimfield now this topic is all bogged down :A:
