Baltimore Police is pretty much always hiring. They lose a lot of officer who laterally transfer to other departments after getting training and some street time with BPD.

A friend of mine applied and he said that cause he was prior military he only had to do a few months on the street then he could transfer or go detective.. Does that sound right? or was he blowing smoke?

Why would prior military qualify him to become a detective without having experience in the dept? Sounds like smoke to me.

What is the starting pay?

From what he said most newbies have to wait 2 yrs before they can transfer or apply for being a detective. But prior service only has to wait 6 months.. I would assume that if your an MP or have FLETC under your belt with time in service its the same as time on the street.. Well they count it that way, i wouldn't get into a debate about the danger level of a stateside MP and a street Balto City Cop!!

Myself and some others here made it to specialized units with only 10months in patrol. Past and prior exp. in the military or LE will not solely help you in determining making detective or operations when applying. It is more your work in streets making cases and arrests that will determine your promotion potential.....Which can come from prior experience for some or none from others...its more the individual work ethics of that individual officer, I have seen the best cops in the city come from no prior experience whatsoever and some of the worst cops are decorated military or prior police. Just my .02 cents.

When I started... You did not EVEN think about any movement from a patrol car or foot patrol with less than five years on. Then by the time I retired, there were guys with under two years who were in Specialized Units...

My first ten years were in the good old Western District... Go 7 What a training ground THAT was back then.

Life is a lot quieter now...

I have a question. I applied last year and the polygraph flagged me even though i was totally honest i was told that thing is a joke and only 60% accurate however that is how they hire. Can i reapply?

I believe you can.

 

[Demoneyes86]

I asked the big guy down town but he would not give me an answer. I want to try again i do not get why i was flagged. I did not lie about anything i was totally honest.

 

[itsslow98]

It's something I may look into. I just have no desire to stay down there any longer then itd take to lateral to another agency.

 

[Demoneyes86]

I know a few officer in the city i really want in.

 

[Demoneyes86]

Any info would be great!

 

[Talkinguns]

What is their method of training and how long is the program?

 

[Tebonski]

I would only work there if I got fired from Walmart.
