MD State Fire Marshall

Looking at the announcement, I am confused as to whether they expect you to find a police academy to go through or if they put you through one themselves, anyone have any ideas as to which?

The wording was speaking about a MD lateral......however, FM will send somebody through a MPTC academy if need be, i.e. fresh body with no LE training/experience.

I'm almost certain they would be sending folks to the academy in Sykesville. However, I've been known to be wrong before.

I find it troublesome that I really like the sound of this position but I cant even apply unless I fly out there. awful

They will send them to other academies as well we had one in my class with pg a few years ago.

Do you think they're looking more for people with fire prevention related backgrounds or do you think criminal justice backgrounds would be just as preferable?

Neither matter; it's an entry level position. You either are qualified to sit for the test or you're not. From there it is all score driven. As a matter of practically, fire prevention will be of more use to you since you'll go through a full PD academy.

Is there an add on academy or follow up training?

Or is it OTJ training?
