Dear future officer,

The Michigan State University Police Department has upheld a long tradition of courtesy and excellence by hiring talented officers with the highest standards of performance. If you have the leadership, integrity and honor for a law enforcement career, we want you to join our team.

We offer a career where every shift is not like the one before. You will be exposed to a variety of calls for service with the MSU community and develop strong multi-jurisdictional partnerships. You will receive valuable training and access to the best equipment because we know that training and reliable equipment is vital to officer safety.

Officers have the opportunity for advancement within the ranks of the MSU Police Department. All of our officers begin their career on patrol but many officers advance into specialized units and teams. As a professional and progressive agency, we are committed to providing these specialized units and teams for the MSU community.

I look forward to growing the department’s strengths and welcoming new officers to a rewarding career with MSU Police Department.

Best,
Doug Monette
Interim Police Chief and Director
