BPD is a good job, just be prepared to work...very busy department.

Also you should consider MSP, they offer a 4 day program also for out of state people. Maryland State Police

All the counties in MD are also pretty good.

Thanks for the help buddy!! Yes I can see that they are lol. I have been looking at the baltimore sun and everyday there are murders and shootings basically. You work there? It's a good time to go down because they want to hire 250 cops this year alone. There is no oral board so thats a major relief. Also i heard that the recruits do the field training during the academy not after. I also heard that Baltimore pd has a high turnover rate.God Bless

You may see the " no oral board " as a blessing , I see it as the opposite. Prospective police officers need to be tested in mulitple ways to weed out those who want to do the job but really aren't suited.

DO you want to work with someone who really shouldn't be there ?

Bmore is no joke man, its the hood. Read this from Cop in the Hood, http://petermoskos.com/readings/copinthehood_sample.pdf

I know a lot of guys stay w/ BPD about 2-3 year then bounce to Harford, Howard, AA CO, MDTA, etc for a better quality of life...Balt Co doesn't take laterals...same w. MSP

That says a lot and I would heed that as a warning....... You can also bet that if that many people are leaving, there are a lot staying there that hate it. Not too many things worse than working in a police department where the morale is low.

Just a up date. I'm going down the 14th of next month and taking the written and physical agility test. The 15th willl be the preliminary interview and written psych test. Wow uponbase2 thats crazy!Do alot of people just quit the force completely not just switching to another department? Wow thats alot of cops that died in the line of duty.God Bless

Hey guys I went down this weekend for the two day expedited hiring event. I passed the written,pat and I took the written physch exam. I also did the preliminary interview. The next three steps will be the oral phych exam, polygraph and medical evaluation. There is no oral board so thats why I did not include that. I am just waiting for a call back from Baltimore PD and If I get the call I will go on. The lady officer who gave us the exam said If we don't make it into the next class we will be in the one after it!
