Merger

In Mid-2006, Mayor Thomas M. Menino organized a merger of the Boston Police and the Boston Municipal police. This prompted protest from the Boston Police Patrolmen's Association. The BPPA felt that the "Munis" were under trained and should not have been merged with the BPD. This is in contrary to the fact that all Municipal Police Officers have the same exact training as Boston Police Officers. Up to 60% of Municipal Police Officers have graduated from the Boston Police Academy. Despite the BPPA's objections, the Muni's who passed a vigorous background check, medical & psychological exam, as well as a physical agilty test were transferred to the Boston Police Department December 31, 2006. There were only 31 who were transferred to the BPD. On January 1, 2007, the rest of the Muni's were either laid off or transferred to the city's Municipal Protective Service, which provides unarmed security to City Hall.
