Apopka PD

I am thinking of relocating to the Central Florida area and considering Apopka PD. With some of teh rumors I have heard recently and reading a couple of these boards I am worried about diversity and equality in the departmnet. As a certified officer with 7 years experience in a panhandle municipality, can anyone offer a little advice.

I would rather stick with a municipality (especially during an election year.) If anyone has any recommendations for a different department within central Floridaor has insight (good or bad) about Apopka PD, please reply.

OK, LET ME HELP YOU OUT WITH YOUR QUESTIONS ABOUT APD. THE AGENCY ITSELF IS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK FOR, THE BRASS IS REALLY FRIENDLY, THE CALL VOLUME IS AVERAGE, THE EQUIPMENT IS GOOD, NO D.A.V.I.D, THE RETIRMENT IS THE BEST IN THE STATE, YOU CONTRIBUTE 7% INTO IT, THE PAY IS NOT TOO BAD 38K TO START, NO TAKE HOME CAR, THEY ARE A MASON BASE DEPT, THE FTO,WELL THEY ARE UNIQUE WHILE SOME ARE REALLY GOOD SOME ARE THE WORST, NOT MUCH DIVERSITY WITHIN THE DEPT, BUT IS GETTING BETTER, IF YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WE WILL PAY YOU FOR IT, IF YOU SPEAK SPANISH WELL CONSIDER YOURSELF HIRE,BIG PLUS TO KOW THE LANGUAGE....OVERALL APD IS NOT BAD,BUT THEY ARE OTHER DEPT'S THAT WITH YOUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE ARE HIRING AND OFFERING EXTRA MONEY LIKE OCOEE PD, SEMINOLE COUNTY SHERIFF WILL GIVE YOU 2% ON TOP OF THE SALARY FOR EXPERIENCE, ORANGE COUNTY, BUT IF YOU ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR A SMALL AGENCY...ALSO WINTER GARDEN,WINTER PARK, OVIEDO ALL THESE MENTIONED DEPT'S OFFER TAKE HOME CARS AND EXPERIENCE PAY.. GOOD LUCK GETTING 10-8
