BECOME A METROPOLITAN POLICE OFFICER!



The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is focused on building a crime-fighting partnership with the community, and developing our own promise and potential as a department. Police work requires a certain type of individual — one who has strong interpersonal skills and the motivation to work with our partners to help build strong, safe and healthy communities throughout the District of Columbia.


If you’re interested in becoming a law enforcement officer, the MPD may be the place for you. It’s a rewarding career choice that also provides job security. The MPD offers a starting salary of $48,715 per year; family health & dental packages; 10 paid holidays per year; a retirement plan; generous annual and sick leave; a tuition reimbursement program; and bilingual pay.


The MPD’s Office of Recruiting has scheduled several testing dates for February and March. Walk-ins are welcome for all test dates. Test times vary, so please contact the MPD Recruiting Office beforehand to confirm when you should arrive. The MPD encourages all interested applicants to complete the application form before they arrive to ensure quick processing. The test process includes an orientation and a multiple choice exam with an essay portion. No physical skills test will be administered during the initial testing process.


If you have any questions about becoming a police officer, or if you need directions to one of the testing sites, please contact MPD’s Recruiting Office, toll-free on (800) 994-MPDC or locally on (202) 645-0445.
