Full-Time Police Officer
Capitol Police is a great place for experienced officers seeking a second act in their law enforcement careers and a wise choice for entry-level officers who want to begin a rewarding career in a high-profile setting. We have a very positive and supportive culture. Officers work a 4/day 10-hour schedule. Additional stipends are available for Crisis Negotiators, Firearms Instructors, Field Training Officers, and more! We anticipate that within the next few years, the Bureau’s Patrol Division, Investigations Division, and Screening Division will expand to meet new responsibilities being tasked to the Bureau. Officers joining us now will likely enjoy additional opportunities from this expansion. Within the Bureau, all officers are currently tasked with at least one collateral specialty. Specialty assignments include, but are not limited to, Detective and K9 Handler. While prior police training and service are desirable, the Bureau is committed to training new candidates for law enforcement. Women and minorities are strongly urged to apply. The successful candidate will be a certified full-time police officer in the State of Maine or will be required to complete the basic police officer academy at MCJA within one year of hire.
