 Unlike BPPA members, who have passed a Civil Service Exam to get hired, BMP Officers were allowed to back door the process via the courts to become civil service Officers.Despite the BPPA's objections, the Munis who passed a vigorous background check, medical & psychological exam, as well as a physical agility test were transferred to the Boston Police Department December 31, 2006.There were only 33 who were transferred to the BPD.
