If you don't want to work for the PD you can work as a garbage man for $52,000 a yr or be a mechanic for over $70,000 a yr what a joke. We risk our lives every day and this is how the city rewards us.

yea that is true... but they are about to let a lot of the grease monkies go... mabie we could get more then.... oh that last line made me laugh...If it wasn't for the fleet guys at the garage the city vehicles wouldn't run so you must ride a bike with a blue light on the helmet I feel sorry for you I agree the police should be making alot more money then they are.But the average mechanic spends between $50.000 to $150.000 for tools thats alot too work at the cityAnd the garage will be there for a long time because of the work that they do.[/b]

we have serious issues here at the pd and they need to be addressed by you know who :evil:

Your are ill informed, our salary for new officers is over 40,000.00 to start. Get your facts straight before you make yourself look stupid.

well the update your web site sonny :shock:



p.s. gator boy

we are the type of dept venice is and longboat key and etc. whe nwe lose people to other agencies in this county that tells you something. spd/sso etc.. i guess they want more action and more population not just a bunch of home and a few bussiness and no roads or action.

We have never lost an officer to SSO and only 1 to SPD and that was because he lived there! Hell! We just hired a SPD guy! Get your facts straight!

How can you guys hire good applicants with no poly or vsa, No college requirement? You need to raise your standards.

If you have not realized yet the poly and vsa are inaccurate tests and do not reflect the truth, hence they are not admissible in criminal court. That is a hint. We do an extensive background investigation and out standards are very high. If we have ten applicants that make it through to the background you will find that 70% or so are dumped. Do not rely on a poly or vsa to ensure you get a good applicant, and do not assume that because an agency does not use these tests that they have low standards.

NPPD Cpl. Joe Slapp left for and is still with them SSO I believe.
So that is one of supposedly none.

It will still get the applicant to admit to any criminal wrong doing. How with out either test can you tell if a applicant has used drugs, or any undected criminal history? At least with a poly or vsa you can get them to admit to SOME crimes.
Checking with employers, and neighbors can only get you so far.

Your standards cannot possibly be THAT high. Recently you highered someone I know... he is the most messed up human being I have EVER met!!!! THank got you let go of him during field training because if he was still there he would have for sure gotten into some real ****. I'm pretty sure he got turned down by CCSO.

[Old Guy]

Talking about messed up. Dude, learn how to spell. It is spelled "hired" and "God".

if you are a young cop n port would be a boring palce to work. there is not alot of stuff going on other then the normal 22f 13p and a few sg65's. n port does not have a lot of bussiness as you all know and not a lot of busy roads that bring crime. tamiami trl in nport ver tamaimi trl in sarasota and bradenton are 2 different worlds. north port shuts down at sun set and its quite boring. small units and small dept not good for the young folks , great as a get your feet wet dept then move on to a bigger dept.

[nppdx86]

Thanks for the info "old cop"... Oh you could not be so wrong.. So go play on the citizens site..

ah i think he is right are you trying to say we are a busy city....hummmm im confused :P

DUDE, I knew this was a police board but I had no IDEA that the spelling police were here too.

[Old Guy]

Well, If you want to come on here and post what you think are intelligent responses, a least spell the words right to show that you are possibly intelligent. Try handing in a PCA like that and see what happens. :devil:

Hey mechanic n port are really a mechanic at north port?How many mechanics do you have working there?Are you guys hiring? i see the pay is pretty good.

We're fairly busy some nights. Weekends usually are good. During the week it is sporadic at best. It's hit and miss. I'm a young new guy on the force here and would say that 30% of the time it's balls to the wall. 50% it's steady with time to write reports. (This is just nights, I don't claim to know about days.) 20% of the time we don't have but 3 calls all night long. Honestly though, the call volume is very rarely busy with anything of great consequence. Very few stabbings, shootings, or serious 22s. Some people here act like North Port is downtown Atlanta. I'm new and I know that comparable cities have a lot more action. The nice thing is that you have time to work your own "finds." If you dig finding sig57, you got plenty of time to do it. If you want to be an ass and write 9000000 tickets a night, there's time for that too. (Btw, I got about 8 tickets before getting this job, it never disuaded me from my normal driving habits. Plus I've never been in a crash.)

You're a liar! If you had 9 tickets, you wouldn't be working here!

I know you standards arent that high. You hired a guy I went to high school with who did drugs daily, terrible driving record too. And I bet he didnt put anywhere on your app about his past drug usage.
I question Oscar's ability to do backround checks.

A recruit that was picked up post-academy and then was terminated a couple months ago had 4 crashes on his record. He was at fault each time. He was hired by Oscar. :) Trust me, your record doesn't even need to be close to spotless.

spd and sso have harder background investigators/interview teams and it is harder to get in. i know many that have tried with spd and sso and not pass the interview then get on with us or vpd mso ccso bpd etc.

[sst2]

For the whiners who say there is not enough action, you should remember from your time in the academy and with seasoned FTO"s that Police work is 95 percent boredom and 5 percent sheer terror. That 95 percent time is time for you to learn how to do your job, learn the skills and trade to become a very seasoned and safe street cop and to make the "Old Timers" proud that the taught you right and carry on in their foot steps. It takes time to learn this job and to be safe so you and your partners can go home to yours or theirs family at the end of your shift. With having a nice call load, but not being as busy and one might like, use the slow period to get the skills that are needed to be honed.

But then again, I am a 14 year veteran and learned from those seasoned old timers and became that better officer/deputy. I am not trying to start any war of words or pick on anyone, just wanting to give something for the new guys on the street something to think about. :)

Well said..
