POST Approved Training
National Certification Program
The International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST) has developed a National Certification Program (NCP) for public safety officer training. On December 6, 2023, the Montana POST Council voted to approve NCP trainings for POST credit. To create an account and begin taking advantage of this additional training opportunity, please click here and click on the “Learn” button, then click “Get Started.” At the top of the course list, click the option for “Filters.” Select the filter for IADLEST National Certification.
- Agencies wishing to host an NCP training must still fill out the Application for POST Credit Hours for a Training, and submit the appropriate single-day or multi-day roster. However, agencies do not need to retain training material, as that information will be maintained by IADLEST.
- Individual officers who attend NCP trainings must still fill out the Application for Individuals Seeking POST Credit Hours for Online, Out of State, and Other Courses. However, officers only need to retain a certificate of completion.
- Vendors wishing to obtain training credit for Montana officers may do so through the IADLEST NCP program here.

The Manhattan Police Department is currently accepting applications for one full-time Police
Officer. Manhattan is a beautiful, small community of approximately 2,100 people. It sits nineteen
miles west of Bozeman, Montana, which is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country and home
to Montana State University. Manhattan is close enough to Bozeman to enjoy all its amenities, but
far enough to escape to a much quieter, small-town lifestyle. The surrounding area is also known
for its fly fishing, hunting, skiing, hiking, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. The Big
Sky Mountain resort and Bridger Mountain resort are two world-class ski areas, frequented by
Manhattan residents. The Bozeman International Airport makes travel to and from the area easily
accessible all year round. Yellowstone National Park is only a beautiful, 1 ½ hour drive to the
south. In the fall, an elk herd of 200 plus comes to the edge of town, where it hangs out until
hunting season is over. In the summer, residents can look forward to the world-famous Potato
Festival (look it up!)
When at full staff, we have 5 sworn officers; the Chief of Police, (1) one Sergeant, (1) one
Detective/Patrol Officer, (2) two Patrol Officers, and a part-time Administrative Assistant. We
work 12-hour shifts and have four days off every other week. There is typically one officer on
shift at a time. We work closely with surrounding agencies, including the Gallatin County Sheriff’s
Office, Montana Highway Patrol, and the Belgrade Police Department, so while working “by yourself”
we are never truly alone. Our department is looking for an officer who is devoted to our smaller,
more intimate Manhattan community. We would ideally prefer to hire an officer who is already
certified, but we are also willing to pay for training for the right individual to attend the Law
Enforcement Academy in Helena.
Some of the many benefits of working for the Manhattan Police Department include:
• Your choice of sidearm and body armor.
• Many opportunities for continued training and updated certification.
• Four days off every other week.
• Access to a private gun range.
• Body cameras and up-to-date equipment utilized.
• Uniforms and gear, including an additional uniform allowance provided every July.
• Beards and appropriate tattoos are permitted.
• Lateral transfers – an opportunity for expedited Field Training and direct pay increase per
certification attained (Basic, Supervisory, and Intermediate.)
We work closely with the Town Council, which sets the budget for the police department. They have
worked hard to ensure we have competitive wages in comparison to other agencies, especially with
the rapid growth the area is experiencing. The starting wage (if you’re not bringing years with
you) will be approximately $28.38 an hour. If you’re new to law enforcement, you will go through a
full Field Training Program and attend the Montana Law Enforcement Academy, which the Manhattan
Police Department pays for. If you’re a lateral transfer, bring your years with you (up to 7) and
the starting wage will depend on experience (up to $33.66 per hour.)

There is also an added benefit Package that contributes to the overall wage which includes: Health
Insurance, Vision/Dental, Life Insurance, Health Savings Account, Medical Flex account, Aflac,
Aflac Disability, and an additional 457 retirement contribution plan.
We also offer a full Retirement Plan, Vacation, Holiday, and Sick pay.

FAIRVIEW POLICE CHIEF
NOTICE OF JOB OPENING:
The Manhattan Police Department is currently accepting applications for (2) two full-time Police Officers.
Manhattan is a beautiful, small community of approximately 2,100 people. It sits nineteen miles west of Bozeman, Montana, which is one of the fastest-growing areas in the country and home to Montana State University. Manhattan is close enough to Bozeman to enjoy all its amenities, but far enough to escape to a much more quiet, small-town lifestyle. The surrounding area is also known for its fly fishing, hunting, skiing, hiking, and other outdoor recreational opportunities. The Big Sky Mountain resort and Bridger Mountain resort are two world-class ski areas, frequented by Manhattan residents. The Bozeman International Airport makes travel to and from the area easily accessible all year round. Yellowstone National Park is only a beautiful, 1 ½ hour drive to the south. In the fall, an elk herd of 200 plus comes to the edge of town, where it hangs out until hunting season is over. In the summer, you can look forward to the world-famous Potato Festival (look it up!) We are also home to one of the best steak houses in Montana.
When at full staff, we have 5 sworn officers; the Chief of Police, (1) one Sergeant, (1) one Detective/Patrol Officer, (2) two Patrol Officers, and a part-time Administrative Assistant. We work 12-hour shifts every other week, enjoying 4 days off. There is typically one officer on shift at a time. We work closely with surrounding agencies, including the Gallatin County Sheriff’s Office, Montana Highway Patrol, and the Belgrade Police Department, so while working “by yourself” we are never truly alone.
Some of the many benefits of working for the Manhattan Police Department include:
• Being an active part of the community
• Getting to know the people you work for
• Experiencing “Community Policing” firsthand
• Using your choice of sidearm (from a reputable manufacturer)

• Beards are permitted.
• Appropriate tattoos are permitted.
• Lateral transfers – bring your years with you (up to 7 will be recognized on our pay scale)
• Lateral transfers – an opportunity for expedited Field Training
• Lateral transfers – Detective opportunity
We work closely with the Town Council, which sets the budget for the police department. They have worked hard to ensure we have competitive wages in comparison to other agencies, especially with the rapid growth the area is experiencing. The starting wage (if you’re not bringing years with you) will be
approximately $25.76 an hour. If you’re new to law enforcement, you will go through a full Field Training Program and attend the Montana Law Enforcement Academy, which the Manhattan Police Department pays for. If you’re a lateral transfer, bring your years (up to 7) and the starting wage will depend on experience (up to $28.79 per hour.) If you’re a lateral transfer and being a detective is something you’re interested in, you will have the opportunity to fill the role immediately, which also comes with a pay increase (up to $30.10 per hour.)
There is also an added benefit Package that contributes to the overall wage which includes: Health Insurance, Vision/Dental, Life Insurance, Health Savings Account, Medical Flex account, Aflac, Aflac Disability, and an additional 457 retirement contribution plan.
We also offer a full Retirement Plan, Vacation, Holiday, and Sick pay.
