You’ve already put in the work. Now it’s time to put that experience where it counts. Foxborough PD is welcoming lateral transfers who want more — more opportunity, more action, more professional growth. From major events to critical community policing, you’ll step into a role that recognizes the value of a fully trained officer.

Why Foxborough PD? Step Up. Stand Out.

• Stadium-Level Policing. Gillette Stadium + the 2026 World Cup. If you want big-event action, this is the arena.
• High Tempo. Zero Boredom. Demanding calls, massive crowds, fast decisions. This is where your training actually gets used.
• A Community That Shows Up. Strong support. Strong expectations. The way policing should be.
• Experience Gets Respect Here. You’re not starting over — you’re stepping into impact on day one.
• Real Career Momentum. Special units, growth opportunities, and a department that rewards initiative.
• Policing With Purpose. Event operations + community policing. Big moments + real connections.

This isn’t just another patch. It’s a rare chance to serve on a stage most officers never get near.

Do You Qualify? Lateral Transfer Officers must meet the following qualifications necessary for consideration:

• A FT enforcement officer from any Massachusetts law enforcement agency must have experience in his/her agency to be considered as a Lateral Transfer.
• Must have completed academy training through a full-time MPTC Police Academy. Bridge Academy training does not meet the eligibility requirement.
• Must be POST Certified, and of good moral character and fit for employment, as determined by the POST Commission.
• A FT Lateral Transfer applicant must be in good standings with the National Decertification Index (NDI).
• Must pass thorough Background Investigation.
• Must pass a Medical Exam and Psychological Exam (if none on record with current agency).
• Must pass Physical Abilities Test.

Additional Qualifications

The Foxborough PD standard starts here. These additional qualifications aren’t optional — they’re what it takes to earn the badge. Do you have what it takes?

Police Officers must perform a wide range of law enforcement duties and responsibilities necessary to the stability and safety of the community. This means taking initiative, building trust, and making decisions that reflect sound judgment, professionalism, and integrity.
