MDTA Police Cadet

TO APPLY:

OPEN AND CONTINUOUS

The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) owns, operates, and maintains eight major toll facilities comprised of four bridges, two tunnels, and two turnpikes, across the State of Maryland. For over 50 years, the MDTA has provided Maryland's citizens and visitors with safe, secure, and convenient transportation facilities. We are committed to quality and excellence in customer service, and we rely on our organization's values, traditions, and – most importantly – our employees to achieve these goals.

This is the trainee level of law enforcement work for the Maryland Transportation Authority. The employee in this classification receives instruction in commercial vehicle safety inspections, the operation of specialized mobile equipment, traffic flow direction, and providing information to travelers. As the work experience progresses, the employee is required to assume more responsible and difficult functions. MDTA Police Cadets do not have the power of arrest and do not bear arms.

Employees receive supervision from an MDTA Police Corporal. Employees in this class are considered essential employees and are subject to emergency call-back procedures, twenty-four hours a day, as may be required in order to maintain continuous operation of a facility. The work is performed outdoors in all weather conditions including standing and walking at commercial vehicle inspection stations and scale houses and on roadways under conditions of traffic noise and congestion.

The employee may occasionally be exposed to fumes and smoke.

MDTA employees are offered a generous benefits package including a minimum of 11 paid holidays, a minimum of 27 days of leave annually (personal, vacation, and sick), access to the State Pension System, deferred compensation plans, excellent health, dental, and vision plans, and more!
* May be prorated based upon start date.*
