CERTIFIED HIRING

does anybody know when your hiring certified again???

does anybody know when your hiring certified again???
When you learn to spell. ("you're")

Possibly when the new budget kicks in on October 1st.

Hello, any update on when the next lateral class is going to be?

Don't hold your breath we don't have any money and will probably take pay cuts and benefit cuts....equals no hiring. According to our wonderful mayor we are we are not short on officers. If you believe that I have some swamp ground in the everglades that Disney is looking to sell.

Hey is this True I heard the County will be hiring in October, Does anybody knows when, becuase are departments our laying off alot of officers and we need jobs. I can't believe I won't have a job after Oct 1. I know that in the county the last thing they will lay off its police officers and firefighters I can't believe this is happing I want to switch boats. :cry:

Is the county going to hire some of us from Miami PD?

We currently stopped all academy classes for non certified for at least the next six months. The last lateral training for certified was in April. I seriously doubt the county will pull their heads out of the butts and hire people that are already trained and qualified due to the fact that they like to start people from scratch and brain wash them into the county philosophy. This is similar to how FHP makes their recruits drink the kool aid in the academy. Remember one thing it would make way too much sense to hire someone already trained and seasoned. That would save way to much money therefore it is not the county approved agenda. With the county it is either half-baked or complete chaos to prevail.

Does anyone know how long is the lateral class and when do you get sworn in the begining or the end? Also what kind of training do they do?

does anybody have the number to MDPD personnel that I can call to find out WTF is going on with my app?? I took my poly in June and still have not gotten the results officially. I have an insider who gave me the results but thats it. I want the official results and want to ask when Im going to the next step. Thanks!!

Any update on when the next lateral class is going to be?

Lateral Academy is Nov. 9

I hope you are right. :)

Did anyone get a call this week about a lateral class next month?

when did you guys apply? :cop:

Does anyone know when the next lateral class is going to finally happen? It was supposed to be on Nov 9, but that was postponed.

Don't hold your breath.

It's gotta suck (if you are out of work) and are waiting to get in. A lot of people are in this boat as well, there's been movement, new applicants getting their second drug test notices, but so far, now set dates for new classes. Lots of light, but no heat.

I've heard a rumor that says laterals are on hold because their hiring on will be more expensive that starting from scratch with new recruits. Something having to do with the county paying extra because you are already state certified.

Doesn't make sense to me, but again that's what I've heard around here.

FWIW, there's enough people already in the final stages of hiring to fill the next two "new hire" classes.

GC how are you doing in the process?
I haven't heard anything in a while.

I have yet to get my letter to go and take the last drug test. Seen some people (in another forum) get theirs, but nobody yet has reported getting their results with a definitive starting date. We reluctantly, have resigned to the fact that nothing will really happen until next year. It doesn't make sense though, from what I understand, the department will order you to a drug test 45 days before entering the academy. I can only imagine the chaos and snafu's personnel bureau must be going thru nowadays. :mrgreen:

Hey Gcopter, just curious, when did you submitt your application, how long has it been to be on this stage? I applied in April, and no sign of anything :?: :cop:

[gcopter]

Off the top of my head... 2008, can't tell you exactly when now. I've got the paperwork laying somewhere around the house. I'm guessing september of '08.

Hey Gcopter, just curious, when did you submitt your application, how long has it been to be on this stage? I applied in April, and no sign of anything :?: :cop:

Just to give you an idea,
I did mine in 2007. A friend of mine in 2006. We did Polygraph and assesments, fingerprints and refference letters
last we heard about 6 months ago that they are in a hiring freeze.

[gcopter]

Wow, that really sucks. Between '08 and now, I've done everything. Still waiting to get the second drug test before getting the call for the academy. I completed my physical back in june '09. Could've finished sooner had I not had to re take the polygraph and being over the weight guidelines. I lost another month there, had to loose like 19 pounds, but I did it and exceeded it by 6 pounds :devil: :cop:

Any update?

[gcopter]

Not in an uproar here. I can take ribbing as well as the next one. At the very least, I can do something about my weight. 8)

I've yet to see anyone laugh at my 6'1" 240 pounds frame. :evil:

Awright bad ass.

Does anyone know when the next Lateral Police Officer class is going to be?

Any update on a possible date?

Updates anyone? This is taking forever!

Updates anyone? This is taking forever!

Any updates on the updates for the updated certified lateral hiring academy class in a highly updated manner? Or better yet, does anyone have any recent updated dates for the next most recent updated date? In other words, boys and goyls, it ain't gonna happen until the union and the county come to an agreement on their slashed budget. Until then, no 09qsk for anyone. Thank God and your lucky stars if you are lucky enough to have a law enforcement job in this dismal economy.

Does anyone know when the next lateral police officer class is going to be?

Call personnel or your BI. If you know someone with clout in the department, call them.

Tried that, they don't know. Hopefully we'll know more this week after the budget hearings.

I left Lt. Horatio Cain a voicemail, but he hasn't called me back.

:)

Is there any update on the date for the next certified class?

Until you hear on the news that the county and the PBA have agreed to something there are no new updates. Have patience. :shock:

Does anyone know when the next Lateral Police Officer Class is going to finally happen?

Whats the starting salary at mdpd??

We are not hiring laterals or recruits until budget gets solved. As for starting pay don't ask it may change very quick i.e. drop. But if it doesn't I think like 37-38.

Any idea on when the county and the union are going to come to a contract agreement?

Anyone know when the next lateral class is projected to begin?

The County is cutting $57.8 million from public safety in the 09-10 budget. To answer your question, it is extremely doubtful that any recruit or lateral classes will be initiated anytime soon.

The Miami-Dade Commissioners adopted the PBA contract 3/2/10. That means impasse is over. This also means people who got their applications signed off on and then got stuck in the hiring freeze should start listening for that phone call or keep their eyes open for a letter in the mail for the re-take of any necessary testing, ie drug screening.

Where did u get that information? I hope it's reliable and you are right.

There might be a class in august at the earliest. There is no options of laterals in the near future. There just is no money in the budget. I know I teach at the academy.

Why would they have a class in August, which is right before the end of the 2009-2010 budget year?

That is when space will be there don't forget we also teach corrections classes there that are taking up space.

Is there any hope of a lateral class after October, when the 2010-2011 begins?

Why would it be a class? It is only two weeks and you go to FTO

Does anyone know if there is any hope of a lateral class after October, when the 2010-2011 begins?

Truth be told, something is going to happen soon but if you know anything about the county then you know it'll keep changing until the very last minute......

Is there any update on when the next certified lateral class is going to be? Will it be this fiscal or next year ( after October 1st)?

I was told there would be a class in August.

A lateral Police Officer Class? if so, I hope you are right.

Hasta que no te avisen no creas nada, que nadie sabe todavia lo que va pasar..... for all we know it can happen tomorrow.....

I know, but I can still hope it happens as soon as August. :)

Dont even worry Bro....in less than 3 months the department have had over 50 officers retired and its projected that that number will double in the next couple of weeks as well. Public safety comes first and we are in need of Officers, and the County knows that. You will see....

How about non certified?

Has anyone heard if the August Lateral Police Officer class is going to happen?

Has anyone heard if the August Lateral Police Officer class is going to happen?

I quit holding my breath a long time ago for a lateral class. I hope so, I hope it happens sooner. I think people are sick of hearing me talk about the subject already. It's always, "Hey, what's going on with the County?"

"Uhh, still waiting!"

"Wow, how long you been waiting?"

"Oh, about two and a half years almost."

Blah, blah, blah. Good luck anyways everyone, don't pick up any IAs or dumb 17s, and pray for rain. HOPEfully we'll all (laterals, you academy newbies can wait your frickin turn) be hired soon. To the newbies, I hear McDonalds is hiring. Or, BE ALL YOU CAN BE! Army, Navy, AirForce, Marines!

Guys dont give up just yet, things are bad everywhere but sooner or later theyll get better, and everything will be back to normal.

Expect good news in the next couple of weeks....

xpect good news in the next couple of weeks....


Hopefully the good news is a start date for the lateral class. :D

I just heard the lateral class is going to happen sometime within the next two months. Has anyone else heard this?

No new hires to go to academy. I heard for sure the county will entertain lateral officers due to budget cuts. Keep a low profile in your current department and hope for the call. Just don't expect to get a take home anytime soon. I heard that possible in the next couple of months they will have lateral classes going through. After all we only have one corrections class going through. Once they are done the TA's have to justify their presence at the training center.

Rumors - Rumors - Rumors.....
The county is in reallly bad shape, trust when i say this dont believe anything until you get a call; with that said dont loose hope and keep yourselves out of trouble and away from use of forces.....

Has anyone heard of a possible start date for the lateral class?

I was at lunch at La Carata and overheard Mundy talking that they were calling officers for the upcoming lateral class. Good new and good luck

Well I heard the county found money out of thin air to buy 250 doge chargers so I guess we can afford to hire a couple of lateral officers. After all there is talk about shitcanning the fto program since they don't have anyone to teach. So if I were you guys law low at your current dept and hope you get the call.

Any update on what the start date for this class is?

Sometime in Aug or Sept.

Sometime in Aug or Sept.

I doubt they would have a lateral class that late in the budget year. It's probably going to be earlier then that (June or July) or after October 1st, when the new fiscal year begins.

If I lay any lower i'll be underground!

lol. Same here!

That ain't low enough you have to be so low under the radar they need sonar to find you. :evil:

Guys it doesnt look good at all, the county is all jodido no money, word is that they are gonna do away with 600 positions and there may be some P.Os in there. They are also talking about doing away with some specialzied units, ( FTO, PSS, TEAM Police, ectr).
Like George Lopez says F that Puto _ _ _ _ _ _ _ fill in the blank.

I can still hope that the class happens with in the next two months like a lot of people are saying.

As far as 600 jobs I don't see it happening. We are short at least a couple hundred to 500. In a year or two we will be short no less than 500 if they don't hire. I don't listen to that b.s. Laterals for sure will be hired eventually keep faith strong. I rather have a "rookie" that is already been in the shizat over a rookie from the academy that has to be retaught everything.

Has anyone heard any new information?

Sorry to tell this to you guys but I just heard the dept will be laying off 180 positions. So don't bother and hope in two or three years there will be openings. We currently have 250 open vacancies and the 180 layoffs will be the rest of positions that need to go. I suggest you start contacting the media due to the fact that public safety will be affected. The citizens must know of this and stop it anyway possible. People in high income neighborhoods will be effected the most. We staff the dark side of town more due to call volume. This means tax payers and people who don't live off of the govt will be victimized. Let your county commissioners know we will not stand for this.

Really? Because I just heard that the admin is strongly favoring a class within the months of June or July, because of shortages in manpower. I guess everything is a rumor until we receive official confirmation. :)

Well for your sake I hope you are right. I'm just telling you what I've heard from the one of the many affected individuals. I really don't care either way due to having time on and many hundreds below me to buffer. Good luck and be glad you at least have a job.

Dont believe anything you hear. If the Dept was laying that many people off the media would be all over it, i.e. BSO.
Man power is lacking and crime is steadily rising since the last statistics came out. They will be putting a lateral class and non certified class through soon.

How can this be true when there is right now a contingency plan put out, stating that they might send some brand new officers to corrections bc budget problems....I do agree with " Dont believe anything you hear". unless is a contingency plan..

Only way that "contingency plan" would work would be if they cross certfied those officer as C/O's. Otherwise, they cannot work corrections.

Yes they can they can place them as on the job training up to one year before making them go to training to cross over. Second they will be in charge of transport and security at stations and courthouse. Remember we are a sheriff's dept. We are also in charge of prisoner transportation. They will still be in brown gown but their salary will come out of corrections budget. If you don't think so look at state corrections they make them work up to six months in the prison as "ojt's" before sending them to the academy to see if they can even hack it. Either way the training is only four to five weeks at the most.

Is there any chance that the lateral P/O class is going to after October when the new budget starts?

Incorrect. They are two totally seperate agencies. There is no elected sheriff here in Miami-Dade County. I don't know who told you this fish tale, but they are absolutely wrong.

We are in charge of overseeing corrections by state law. It is what it is. Why do you think we are doing all their training now. Why do you think Burges went over their... It is happening whether you like it or not. You don't need an elected sheriff. State law is state law.

Hypothetical question:

I a misdemeanor conviction for bestiality in 1996 from Arkansas an automatic dis qualifier?

I mean, you guys have people robbing people on duty....so I don't think they should be able to hold some barnyard romance against me.

Until your steeeeooopid comment, this was actually a conversation between cops. Listen, jerky, save a few bucks so you can buy some mouthwash to remove the aftertaste of your boyfriend's man-stuff. You will never pack the gear to handle this profession for a split second. If you wanna read what we write, fine, but remember...you are beneath us, you are garbage, you don't deserve to breathe the same air in the same zip code as even the laziest man or woman in uniform. Got it?

So go ahead and ooze back into whatever crack you plopped out of. Like Gunnery Sgt. Hartman said, "The best part of you ran down the crack of your mother's ass onto the mattress." Punk.

Back to the discussion.

The county won't layoff or send anyone anywhere. The milage rates get adjusted(by law) to keep the status quo and the squeeze will still be on until money is generated....tax increase, grants, federal funding, etc.

Look at what the county is saying....cut the FD by 1/3 cut the PD by 1/4. Can't and won't happen, no politician wants a riot on their watch. So don't fear, the rumors are just that. People need to quit eavesdropping, bc thats exactly what caused these rumors. The rest is what is called political rhetoric, scare tactics to get the commissioners to raise the property taxes which they have avoided like the plague for the past 2 years.

We all know they don't want to upset the constituents bc that means loosing votes for reelection and forfeiture of a nice, powerful job. There are state laws that address these exact issues for public safety and budgets. It's just too bad they can't do the same for education. So for now, just hold tight and pray there isn't a major hurricane or riot this summer.

Laterals: It will happen soon and the wait will be worth it.

BE SAFE

Guys; most of the points you make are very considerable but that does not change the fact that headquaters reassigned most of the background staff to other units because they wont be doing any related work for a while, also every rookie here in cuttlr-ridge has been told that we might go to court services as a correctional detachment and the fact that Mundy gave the director a list with names on it to balance out the department budget is a fact. So lets all hope for the best....

Is there any chance that the lateral class is going happen after October 1st, when the new budget starts?

Nope the county is considering eliminating the fto program in the districts due to the budget. That tells you something about hiring. ???? I'll leave it to the imagination.

I hope it happens.

You guys are very informative on this issue, and like everyone else, I do hope it happens soon, as I applied over 2 years ago as a lateral.

I agree, the wait will be worth it, and I hope that the commission does not lay off any officers. This, I agree, would not only be political suicide but would also place the public at even greater risk. Good point also, hurricane and riot season are coming up. Btw, is it true as I hear from some of the guys in the districts, that some shifts are down to just four (4) cops?

Yeah I've been on a while and the dept doesn't care about being short on the road. I was in the north end and we only had 7 guys to cover the entire district on the weekend. Now with all these special units that do nothing but jump 15's we are even more short. Not to mention most of the fto's don't have more than 3 years on in a cake district. What will they teach anyone? How to drink coffee at the wheel? This dept needs a total enema and get rid of all the shizat that Carlos Alvarez formed.

^^ GREAT post
MDPD really does need to tighten up and clean up that garbage and mess they have. These FTO's should have not even passed their FTO phase, let alone be one. Very funny and true statement on what are they going to teach. I mean let's be real.. What do they really have to offer..? Other than what the above post says about teaching them how to drink coffee on the wheel.

Maybe where to get the coffee for .0
HAHAHA :devil:

Its Official....... There is going to be lay-offs

Its Official....... There is going to be lay-offs

Really? When? How many?

It's "There are going to be layoffs". Learn proper grammer if you going to post rumors on this board. :D

Nice to know losers like you populate these boards. That was a very mature response.

Nice to know losers like you populate these boards. That was a very mature response.

Can we please cut the crap and get to business? Is it a rumor? Is it official? Are there going to be layoffs? If so, when, how many, etc.?

Or, can we lay this to rest like so many other rumors?

Does anyone know if there is a possibility of a lateral class for this upcoming budget year?

Does anyone know if there is a possibility of a lateral class for this upcoming budget year?

Okay, here is the latest information from the FY 2010-11 Volume 2 - Proposed Resource Allocation and Multi-Year Capital Plan.
This is straight from the proposed budget being presented to the Board of County Commissioners.

"• The FY 2010-11 Proposed Resource Allocation Plan includes additional civilian attrition ($1.7 million) and sworn attrition realized from
continuation of police officers attrition from FY 2009-10 ($8.076 million, 84 positions), suspension of certified police officers lateral classes
($2.884 million, 30 positions) and Basic Law Enforcement classes ($5.769 million, 120 positions) until the last quarter of FY 2010-11"

That means they want to suspend all lateral and BLE classes until July 1, 2011 - September 30, 2011, which is basically another year.

They also want to lay off 10 background investigators. :|

Does anyone know if the rumor that there is going to be a lateral class at the end of the 2010-2011 fiscal year is true?

Does anyone know if the rumor that there is going to be a lateral class at the end of the 2010-2011 fiscal year is true?

[gcopter]

FWIW, I was there about a week ago. I was speaking to the receptionist who told me that she overheard that, if at all, next year, there would be a class of laterals, again a class ( meaning; 1, no more). In essence, things are really FUBAR, they are pondering letting go of, or re assigning, 10 investigators. I'm for one, begun to look to hire with the feds. Bye, bye, MDPD / Florida. :roll:

Is there any new information on when the next lateral is going to finally happen?

Not by a long shot we just won the right to keep our contract. I seriously doubt that we will give up our pay to take on more budget straining ofc's anytime soon. Try again in two years. Or you can always go to corrections they need 250 bodies.

Yes, there is going to be a couple of classes next year. God knows we need them, we are seriously under power. Its already in the works.

I left Lt. Horatio Cain a voicemail, but he hasn't called me back.

yea, tubbs and crocket havent called me back either.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/09/30/1851048/nearly-1400-officers-hired-under.html

Does that mean the lateral class will happen sooner than originally planned?

That means for dept's in Miami-Dade in general. We all have to share the funding. Don't hold yer breath.

That means for dept's in Miami-Dade in general. We all have to share the funding. Don't hold yer breath.
Wrong, if you read the grant, it states only the agency applying for the grant may use the funds and the grant MDPD applied for can only be used to hire 50 new officers. That means only Miami-Dade Police Department may use the funds. Also, MDPD is the only agency in Dade County which was awarded money. In Broward, agencies like Wilton Manor and Hollywood were awarded grant funds.

Yeah well we still ain't hiring. So boo who who. That may pay for hiring and training new recruits, however the county still can't afford to pay out benefits on 50 new people. Only time will tell. I hope I'm wrong.

You are.

Why would MDPD apply for a grant and not plan to spend the money?

The grant pays for the salaries, benefits, and retirement for the fifty officers fora period of thirty-six months.

it also says "Nearly 1,400 law enforcement officers will be hired or retained across the country". So that $ could actually be used for existing jobs.

Wrong, again. Only to retain officers who are scheduled to be laid off. MDPD has no layoffs for POs.

Boo, who, who? Why do you hate, you little prick? The grant pays for 50 officers positions for three (count them, 3) YEARS. They called me today, beeyaznitch. See you in brown. So instead of being a hater, say good luck, and wish the newbies a safe career.

What is the date for the next lateral class?

I agree brother!!!!!

ITS OFFICIAL!!!!!!! GET READY......

Yeah get ready to hold your breath some more. :devil:

Yeah get ready to hold your breath some more. :devil:
Not true..... :wink: :mrgreen:

While at the training center the other day, one of the secretaries mentioned that all the hiring (50) from the grant will be laterals.

Well... On Friday (October 9th, 2010), I received a call from MDPD Human Resources asking me if I am still interested with the department. Of course, I told them absolutely. I've went through the whole hiring process board and apparently I am still in the active recruiting list. I want to say this was approximately almost 2 years ago. They told me to be on stand-by. Good luck everyone!

Are you a lateral?

Great! I received a missed call from them and they actually left me a message. Hopefully, I will hear from them again.

Are the contacting people for the academy or for the lateral p/o class?

oye aqui en hialeah se escribe asi, asi que no critiques tanto y preocupate por la informacion que te dan, profesora....

Next Lateral class is in January, not in November.

Has anyone been called for the lateral class? If so, are they going to make us take any test (poly,psych,medical..) again?

Hey man, it is different for everyone, it all depends on when were the dates of your last testings but whatever it is, it will be minor and fast. PMB only has a very small number of B/Is working on files so time is of the essence. Enjoy the holidays and be safe out there.
" Nothing is ever routine, unless you're mrried".

Has anyone being called in to start the lateral academy? How many are they trying to hire? :cop:

:D :D :D Ten officers including myself have been called in to HQ on Dec. 29 to do all our paperwork. We start the lateral academy on Jan 10, 2011. It's been a long time coming, and congratulations to all of you making the move. Patience pays. :D :D :D

2 academies. The first in January is for laterals only. 25 spots, all filled. The second, later in the year, will have both laterals and certified officers. I think there are some openings in that class still.

Anyone at the Dec 15 orientation get a letter to schedule the polygraph yet??

Yes,

The number to MDPD Certified Hireing and all other maters is: BR -549, got it, BR-549, you can call anytime.

Curious to know what agencies some of the guys in the lateral class are coming from. I know one from FIU, one from Coral Gables, one from Miami Gardens and one from the School Board. Any other local agencies represented? Best of luck to all of you!
