Installation Police Officer, DMVA - Fort Indiantown Gap, Lebanon County, PA

The PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Fort Indiantown Gap Police Department is seeking qualified individuals to fill a number of positions due to retirement and expansion of the department in preparation for securing part of the installation with access control points.  Installation police officers provide law enforcement services to the National Guard, Commonwealth Employees, and Federal Contractors that work and/or live at the Gap.  We provide law enforcement and force protection services to approximately 3,000 people, protecting millions of dollars in National Guard assets, covering 30 square miles in Dauphin and Lebanon County.  Installation police officers are not expected to staff the access control points, that will be accomplished using contract security.  However, police officers are expected to respond to wanted subjects trying to access the installation, people identified with contraband at an entry point, impaired drivers trying to enter, or individuals trying to illegally enter the installation.

If you enjoy mountain scenery, hearing the sounds of freedom with the National Guard using the various ranges, the United States Air Force using the Bollen Air Force Range, UH-60 Blackhawk and CH-47 helicopters flying almost daily, willing to provide a valuable service to protect thousands of service members and law enforcement members who train here every year, and not being a inundated with running from call to call, this job is for you.

The police department also has concurrent police jurisdiction at the Fort Indiantown Gap National Cemetery and the Memorial Lake State Park.  Our primary jurisdiction extends ¼ mile from the property lines of the installation so we provide primary police service in those areas as well.  Because we are not a municipality, officers do not have active MPOETC numbers unless they work for another agency part-time.  Installation Police Officers are given the same authority as municipal officers under Title 51, the Military Affairs Act.

Police officers currently work eight (8) hour shifts but will be transitioning to 12 hour shifts in the very near future.
