Lee County Port Authority Police
Hey guys, question for you. I'll probably get flamed for asking in this forum but LCPA does not have their own section and since it's Fort Myers International Airport and in your county I'd figure I'd ask here...
Anyone have any information on the Department? Good place to work? Morale? Get along and good working relationship with you guys in the Sheriffs Office? Any info/serious replies would be appreciated since I can't seem to find too much information on the internet about them.

Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
I know a few good peeps at the airport. From what I have seen, the starting pay is more than LCSO and is a low key LEO job. Looks like a good option, if you don't want the action.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
From what I see they look pretty squared away. I believe they do Paige Field Airport too.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
They have 1 spot, the candidate is already ready to fill it, the app now is just going through the motions. Don't bother.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
I know someone processing for them. Damn I wonder if you pass the process if they put you on a list for when there is an opening. Would suck if they are just wasting their time/money for nothing.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
I recently tested and interviewed for them. They are hiring for 1 position and looking to fill it by the end of September. There were about 12-15 applicants that passed the test.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
Why is this drivel on the LCSO site?
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
Because someone asked a question that could not be answered anywhere else on this board.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
Drivel? You a$$ I've never met a pa cop I didn't like. You, my friend, are a di@k
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
I agree, this has no connection to LCSO and any responses are just guess work. Try calling them or visiting their website. And the last poster is the real a$$ who should return to PA with the other di@ks.

Port Authority is nothing more than an Enterprise Funded Agency whose officers do nothing more than go to school 365 days a year. Professional Students.

...and the problem is??? Dude, don't be a hater. They have really cool equipment too and like someone else said, they get raises. By the way, Collier also got a 2% raise...

Not hating at all. Just stating fact. They have nothing to do. Fall under the fascade of the Homeland Security BS, and have unlimited funds from airlines. Not just them but every other airport in the nation.
Funny is how the BOCC turns their hats and becomes the Port Authority Board too. No aviation experiences in any and all are in charge.
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
it is sad when a poster can't be nice to someone asking a question. if you are that unhappy maybe another agency has more to offer you. I'm sure there's another applicant who would like your job, take home car, free health insurance, membership in the richest and most solvent state pension in the US. Plus you live in sunny paradise! stop complaining drink the Koolaid
Re: Lee County Port Authority Police
LCPAPD is ok, depending on what you're looking for. If you're retired from say... NYPD and just want a down low occasional thing going on, a coffee and donut job, then this is for you. If you want to be in the middle of all the action, nope. It is a PR friendly dept. Can't piss off the Lee County Tourists now. You will deal with people that will piss and moan and write the state freaking senators(which the sh*t will roll down hill as usual) how awful you are for writing them a 30. parking ticket; assuming they're allowed to write tickets anymore?
Opportunities for specialty stuff are not really there because it's a smaller department. Yep, they hound you to go to school for everything. Professional students...haha that's a good one, I always said overpaid security guards. Yes, at least they used to make hiring lists from interviews. Just depends on the turnover how quick they go through the list(which is also a clue to the morale). No idea on the morale now, it's been a complete regime change; can't imagine it being much worse-and morale was VERY low years ago, but guess that's possible. Nepotism and cronyism.....come on, don't act like that's something new in government agencies. Especially in the good ole boy south.
The place isn't for everyone. There are/were some lazy/useless pos's there. And, there were some good ones. Just like at LCSO or anywhere else.
