DC Amtrak Police

Looks like they just posted a new announcement for Amtrak DC.

In the announcement it says the pay is $21.50/hour. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? That equals out to $41,280/year. Can you even live off of that in DC/NOVA?

Yes that is the rate of pay and there is alot of OT.

HEY 5-0!

They still sending everyone to FLETC basic? I thought at one point or another they would accept certifications from an adjoining state you would be assigned to. Perhaps that was outside of DC.

They will accept state training.

When I look at the Amtrak site, I only see a job posting for Baltimore. Is there another site I can look to find the posting for DC?

Only thing that I can guess is that they closed it already.

All Baltimore hiring is done out of DC. As of right now per the Baltimore announcement they have 3 open positions. If your MPCTC certified and not hired, good way to get your cert activated.

Is Amtrak PD a coveted gig? I applied and it sounds like it could be a good fit for me because I would prefer to go federal and get a FLETC certification, but I'm curious as to how much competition there will be. I know a guy who got on right out of college with just a BA in sports management.

Its a job. DC has more turnover because people want to run again. As far as competion, it depends upon how many they have on the list and how many vacancies they have (plus funding for).

I think you can live anywhere as long as you can make it into work on time.

Everytime I try to create the resume on the amtrak website it always has errors and I can't continue. Does anyone have the same issues?

You can mail a resume and cover letter (my suggestion is certified return reciept) to:

Amtrak Human Resources
60 Massachusetts Avenue
NE 2nd Floor
Washington, DC 20002

Just add in a little note advising them of the website problem.
