Baltimore City Police Department Q&A

without a promotion and no OT, yes. With a small amount of OT, you'll hit 80K easily at 3 year-5 years.

Also, what is the cap for overtime per month.

I was born and raised near Baltimore, and I would never become a cop there (too murder-deathy for me). I didn't want to be a city cop at all, but they seem easier to get on with, so I applied for a large city force here in SC.

I think I will take BPD

How is the academy structured? I know it is Monday-Friday..is it PT everyday? Or a mix of everything everyday?

9-5 or 7-3 or what?

[oliverj320]

Don't be guided by money alone.

Oh I won't I just want to build a house eventually. But I hope I get the call to do my medical soon the wait is killing me

8-4 Mon-Fri with some weekend details. you'll PT daily in the beginning and then shift to a PT schedule. Of course, this may vary with each class.

too "murder-deathy"? sorry, but I don't think you are ready to be a police anywhere.

depends on your unit and type of OT. i THINK patrol can work a max of 35 hours OT per week. I could be wrong.

Oh that's perfect my goal is to make 6 figures I would easily hit that here in nyc but 3 years 80k not bad

6 figures is easy. with a base of 60k-ish, I've hit 100K+ the past 3 years.

I was hoping to get into this next class but haven't done psych or medical.

Appreciate it. I'm patiently waiting ready to get out of nyc. Glad I'm still in the reserves to get away from the Bronx at times

75-80 hours a week is a nice paycheck though

My class had a stretch of 6 weeks where we PT'd twice. We actually did most of our running at the range, along with "the hill".
