Let us take a few moments to recap 2007. You might want to hum this little tune to a similar Christmas song.
On the 12th day of Christmas my true department gave to me….
12 months of stalled union negotiations.
11 Lieutenants salivating for a certain Captain to retire.
10 month replacement period for new vehicles.
9 % less cost of living pay.
8 more months before an official power point presentation is approved to decide on the committee to design a sticker that is approved to honor fallen heroes.
7 days in a pay period for all those returning to patrol from the specialty units after getting shafted for so long by their respective supervisors.
6 months before the new cars will be road worthy (delivered last month).
5% merit increase….only raise since Oct 2006.
4 captains waiting for one of the A-COPS to take early retirement due to much needed hip replacement, marriage counseling, or finally took that anti-sexual harassment class.
3 A-COPS waiting on a non deciding chief to decide when to retire.
2 Officers on IA resigning.
And……
1 more year down toward retirement…..
Merry Christmas to all! Let it be a blessed and safe holiday season for all of our brothers and sisters serving in the good fight!
P.S. Anyone else feel like taking a stab at this Christmas Carrol thing, lets have a little fun with this site for a change!
