Pensacola PD vs Escambia SO vs Santa Rosa SO
I am currently finishing my Law Enforcement Training at George Stone and I will finish my Bachelor's Degree in Police Science in May and I was debating on which of the three agencies would offer the best pay (if any have higher salaries for officers with 4 yr degrees), benefits, degree incentive etc. I have looked on the websites for all three agencies and even talked on the phone with HR for the different agencies. I was hoping someone who has worked in more than one of these agencies could give me some advice. I have already ruled out FHP after reading posts on their forum. They seem to be having way too many problems. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not Pensacola PD. You'll be struck at your starting salary till you retire.

Don't come to SRSO, we have been on a pay freeze for several years also. We have several cars in excess of 200,000 miles on them and there are several that are almost 10 years old. The majority of our fleet has well over 100,00 miles on them. You will be stuck in patrol your entire career and most Sgt's make less thansenior deputies. I think your degree will get you about an extra $20 a month.

I think with a 4yr degree you should look at a Federal Govt. LE Job. The pay is much better starting out and the Feds have unlimited resources compared to Local and County gov'ts here in Florida. Just my opinion....

if you think you are special because you have a degree, take that degree and shove it up your ass. If you think that degree gets you special consideration you don't have a clue. TSA is Federal, apply with them!
