The Boston Police Department (BPD) is reaching out to residents in the Dorchester area, seeking new recruits for its ranks. Officers from the C-11 Dorchester station hit the gym, specifically Planet Fitness, on Thursday to promote the Massachusetts Civil Service Exam, a doorway for those interested in a career in law enforcement. This comes as part of a push to bolster the numbers of the nation's oldest police force.
Prospective candidates were given a chance to discuss the application process with serving officers at the local Planet Fitness venue. With the deadline for the Civil Service Exam applications looming on January 16, 2024, BPD is encouraging potential applicants to step forward and sign up. Desiring to join the police force can signify a lot to many in the community – it's a chance to serve, protect, and shape the fabric of their streets.
For those interested in taking the plunge into law enforcement, the BPD has made it easier to find information on how to apply. A visit to their official website provides access to the application form and further details about the process. As indicated by the Boston Police Department's announcement, the time to act is now for aspiring officers.
