DC Amtrak Police

[Leohopefull90]

I am with BPD and I am always hearing about our guys lateraling over to Apd, however I NEVER see an open posting on the website. What's the deals?hook job?

Does DC or Amtrak police in general still have their special operations unit? I've also read they have special agents. It seems like a good gig from the descriptions.

When is Amtrak hiring? I never see them advertising.

Have to go to the Amtrak website and search under the careers section.

That does suck, I'm just tired of the VA and maybe just maybe I can do something different at APD. VA doesn't have much to offer

Amtrak is about the same. You might get to go out on patrol once in a blue moon otherwise you'll be confined to the station meeting trains. Got a call about MTA light rail fare inspector getting beat up. Collared the subject and was told to "hold for MTA police: by the management of APD in Baltimore.

Baltimore is always hurting for officers. They hire 2 or 3 and 5 leave.

Well VA isn't that great, 8 yrs nothing changes and I'm not mobile so APD looks kinda good, I'm used to working with less

I was detailed to baltimore for a year and a half. One of the worst divisions in APD. You'll have to get an MD RR police certification which is pretty easy.

Was told APD is hurting for officers, so ill wait them out and stay at the VA police till they come thru. Can't be any worse then where I'm at now, and at least I can get into other specialized units or promote

[fedcop64]

Yeah I turned down another job, hope it works out

[fedcop64]

I was told that I will be a lateral because I have FLETC, so I just have to do MD comparative compliance so ill go to Amtrak, for me it's a good fit

[Man_Of_Steel]
