Good bye to a wonderful agency. We did great things, and will continue to do great things at our new home. Life changes and we must change with it. No one ever likes change. Colonel Dees, we know you did your very best to keep as many of us as possible, and to limit the reductions in rank and pay. But those in charge will do what they feel is best , even when they are incorrect.

[quote="Guest"]Cars colors will remain the same right now. Through attrition they will be changed over to black and tan. For right now they are taking "FDOT" off the bottom of the cars and placing a Florida Highway Patrol seal over the top of the Department of Transportation Motor Carrier Compliance seal.[/quote]

Thanks for the info

Retired dot guy, thanks we will have a good time now that we will not be kicked for doing police work. It will be nice to work for an agency that recognizes we are cops first and foremost. You old timers that want to call yourselves a cop but go for years without putting cuffs on someone will not be missed and its a good thing you are gone already. Enjoy your retirement.

Well brothers as an old timer we brought this on oursellves when we started doing traffic and writing tickets on everything "BUT" trucks. Have fun now. :cop:

Anyone know what is going to happen with the cars. Will they be switched over to black and tan or remain as the are until they are turned in at 200,000 miles? :snicker:

[quote="The Real FDOT"]I once handled a call for a trooper named Richard Whiskey. Is it true that they actually call him "Dick Liquor?" :mrgreen:[/quote]
You almost got me. I was just about to stat on SmartCop to SEE if we had a trooper by that name. Good one.

I agree! It terrible we express ourselves in this way (both agencies). I'm just a DOT who has no choice but to come over to FHP, I know I'll be OK, but there are so many unanswered questions. I have lots of FHP friends. I like them alot. I can't say that of everyone, but for the most part, it's good. I know there are alot of disgruntled DOT's right now, at times, myself included, and with good reasons. Just stop for a moment and think.... when someone is sick, hurt, or sad they don't want someone from the outside to talk or comfort them, they want their own. Let the DOTs express themselves to each other, and if a Trooper or outside agency wishes to give us a crutch, great....I can't make you understand, but I can ask you,not to make it worse.

[quote="www.dot.state.fl.us"]Good bye DOT, it's been nice knowing you. We've had some good times together, at least I have, I guess you never really liked us. Now you can't wait for us to leave so you can have our offices. Have a great life DOT, don't call us, we'll call you. Best of luck in the future.[/quote]

When I started this thread back on 5/8 I never dreamed that it would go in the direction it has. I had thought it might go in the direction of soon to be former DOT Officers expressing how they feel about the way Big DOT is dropping us like a hot potato and how they felt about it. Instead it has turned into a bashing from both sides- FHP and DOT towards each other. I truly hope that these posts are just civilians, former troopers and DOT officers or other LEOs trying to stir the pot. If the people on here are current employees of DOT and FHP, we really need to stop acting like this. In case you all don't realize it, the general public, other agencies and our elected officials get on this web site and read what we put on here. A lot of it is downright embarrassing. Whether you like it or not, the merger is going forward. Let's get together as the rank and file and make this as smooth as possible. We can't control what happens, but we can control our attitudes about what happens. Let's have positive attitudes of brotherhood and sisterhood and remember we are not each others enemies. No one is better than anyone else, we each have unique training and abilities, we both have hard workers and we both have slugs, we both have pretty people and we both have ugly people. We can and have to make this work.

Moderator- I hope you plan to disable the FDOT part of LEO Affairs July 1.

[quote="sick and tired"]Dear Guest, I wont be quiting anytime soon, and I dont have to except a thing! And you can keep your unsincere welcome too, I'm ready to take this ride!

Or is it, that your tired of looking at all the mug shots of all your arrested troopers on your forum????? :devil:[/quote]
I hope you are not a DOT cop but some civilian trying to stir the pot.
