I would suspect all Depts. in the State are hiring. Check out the Cascade county Sheriffs office. Our Sheriff is very Pro RKBA and testified in support of permit less carry and helped get it passed into law. He is registered as a Democrat but he admits he only did that to improve his chances of getting elected.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Good luck on your first posting in Roundup or Circle. Within reason, we’ve been allowing people to choose first duty station…if it fits agency needs. Kalispell, Missoula and the Bitterroot are full…about anywhere else is doable. Billings, Bozeman are always in need of people. There are some hella good stations that are open in great areas…Lewiston area has vacancy…one of the best areas of the state. |

You can choose from a huge metropolis to a little po-dunk if you want a laid back posting. |

Yeah, I'd take Lewistown in a heartbeat. The others, not so much. I just (partially facetiously) mentioned Roundup since one of my Reserve Soldiers first posting with MHP was Roundup for a year or 2 before he was able to make it back to the Flathead. Now he travels with the brute squad across the state. |

How hard is it to get accepted if you don't have any LEO experience? I have a buddy in TX that I've mentored for a few years, and he's led a very sheltered life. He wants to get out and experience the west. About 1-2 classes shy of a CJ degree. Incredibly fit, like top 100-300 in State CrossFit competitions.

Not a thing, or basically about any other MHP posting in rural Montana. Great Antelope hunting near there. If Married? Good luck. |

Not difficult…as long as there aren’t other disqualifications. It is nice to have some life experience before jumping into LE…makes it much harder dealing with people when you don’t have the perspective and depth of experience to sympathize with people that are at a very low point in their life. I will echo what elcope said…hard for the spouse to jump into a small town duty station…cliques abound…not as many job opportunities, and everybody knows who you are all the time. I like kalispell for the anonymity…I can go about my business generally unknown on my off time; which is nice. |

He's 30ish, and has actually had experience as a CrossFit coach, but not much other than that. I did send him the link to the job opening. I hope that he applies. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: He's got no other disqualifications. No wife. Two dogs that he won't leave. It is unfortunate that he's had so few life experiences. Older parents and fairly poor. Never been more than a few hundred miles from home, only one trip to Austin and one trip to NOLA. Even though I've told him that I would never go into LE, he's dead set on it. He's 30ish, and has actually had experience as a CrossFit coach, but not much other than that. I did send him the link to the job opening. I hope that he applies. probably a decent demand for crossfit coaches in missoula and bozeman. he won't be able to afford to live in either on cop's pay. ETA: i could get him in at northwestern energy or PAR/rocky mountain. better working conditions and better pay/bennies.

I think it’s because his wife is very much like him, and they’d both fit in on this forum (maybe not GD) or any site or group dedicated to preparedness, long term food storage, etc. He offered to sell me his place in Plentywood, it was a great price but it’s on the other side of the state. I don’t like going east of Marias Pass, I sure don’t want to live that far east. |
