Great salary, can work overtime for cash or more time off.

It’s post work mostly hand wand and X-ray machine. Micromanaged while working a simplistic static post. Long work hours just to keep extra doors open late at night that no one uses.

Good salary, low morale/opportunities.
Feb 3, 2023 - Police Officer in Washington, DCRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Salary is the best thing about this place since you can pretty much work a lot of overtime if wanted.
Cons
Long hours, low morale in divisions, very political, difficult to get into specialties.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Pays good, tons of overtime available. Perfect for a workaholic with little social life.
Cons
Poor quality of life. USCP throws as many bodies as possible at any problem (civil disturbance like post-Jan 6 / roe v wade / any rallies or massive protests. Even when there are no more large events planned, you will get both of your days off canceled and you'll be standing around for 8 hours doing close to nothing. If you're looking to be a police officer and "real police work", don't come to USCP.
