As the unofficial start of summer begins, department officials say their latest class of several-dozen seasonal recruits will be ready, imbued with full police powers and a fraction of the training permanent officers receive — something no other police force in the country does.
The officer had drawn his firearm as a joke, something he’d done a few times when others made comments he didn’t appreciate, according to an internal affairs report. He’d joined the force about a month before the incident after four weeks of training. Now he was quickly fired.
The same challenges await as the town gears up for another Memorial Day, and another Senior Week of young people crowding the boardwalk to celebrate high school diplomas. Department officials say their latest class of several-dozen seasonal recruits will be ready, imbued with full police powers and a fraction of the training permanent officers receive — something no other police force in the country does.“What Ocean City, Maryland, does is a problem for the profession,” said Gainesville, Fla.
In 1988, state lawmakers had carved out an exemption to state training requirements, allowing Ocean City’s seasonal officers to hit the streets after less training than other officers. The law applied to agencies that employed “at least 100 non-full-time police officers” per year — a criterion only Ocean City met.
Those who pass take a four-week training course in May that includes the same firearms training required of permanent officers. It also includes use-of-force training, which by state regulation must include anti-discrimination training, and other subjects such as defensive tactics, constitutional law and drug enforcement.
During council meetings in recent years, Buzzuro and his staff have expressed concerns about the program’s continued viability.
