“Since taking office in September of 2022, I have had the opportunity to spend quality time with a number of people within the Cambridge Police Department,” said City Manager Yi-An Huang. “I am continually impressed by the dedication and expertise of our police officers and professional staff. Whether they are patrolling or conducting outreach in our squares, investigating complicated crimes, or supporting survivors, CPD employees truly demonstrate a deep commitment to not just enforcing our laws, but working toward enhancing the overall health and wellness of our community. They represent a version of policing that agencies around the country aspire to replicate. If you want to make a genuine difference in the community and have an interest in public service, I strongly encourage you to apply for the police exam today.”

“If you want to serve a larger purpose, effect real change, make a highly competitive salary, and have an opportunity to receive lifelong benefits, then we encourage all residents to strongly consider applying for a job with the Cambridge Police Department,” said Police Commissioner Christine Elow. “Our most recent class included several officers who wanted more from their careers. Some left desk jobs. Others were 10-15 years into another career. This job can be incredibly rewarding and fulfilling. Whether you are looking to start a career or change your career path, we encourage Cambridge residents to highly consider attending our upcoming information session and applying for the exam today.”

A dedicated website that contains important dates, FAQs, a breakdown of the examination and selection processes, information on benefits and incentives, videos, training insights and more is available at www.cambridgepolice.org/joinCPD.
