Special police In Massachusetts, Special Police Officers are either similar to reserve or part-time police officers and part of a regular police department or they are Special State Police Officers and are part of a college or university police force. Special Police Officers attend and graduate from the MA Municipal Police Training Council Reserve & Intermittent Police Officers Academy[2] There are also a plethora of special police officers who work in the city of Boston; these officers either work directly for the city (school police, municipal protective service, health commission police, housing police, or BFD arson investigators) or for private security companies. The city of Boston requires some of these agencies to attend a non-state approved academy, that is only 160 hours.[3] The state requires all reserve/intermittent officers to complete 372.5 hours of training, with an additional 20 hours for those carrying a weapon.[4]
