Join Our Team - Cambridge Police Now Accepting Applications Through GetBadged.com

New Officer badge pinning

The Cambridge Police Department is pleased to announce that we are now accepting employment applications for Sworn Police Officer Positions through GetBadged.com. This does not replace the traditional Civil Service Police Exam but rather is a Civil Service approved alternative method for perspective applicants to apply for positions with our agency. Those who have already taken the Civil Service Police Exam will remain on the eligibility list and are not required to re-apply but do have the option to do so if they choose.

GetBadged currently has two Cambridge Police job postings listed on their website, an Entry Level Police Officer and a Lateral Entry Police Officer. The Entry Level Police Officer posting is geared toward aspiring Police Officers who are not yet POST Certified or Academy Trained. The Lateral Entry posting is geared toward individuals who are currently Academy Trained and POST Certified Police Officers. Links to both postings are below. Applicants are asked to complete the appropriate application for what best matches their status.
