Re: Losing The Police Dept.
It's time to go public and expose the problems that the Miami Springs Police officers are facing. Let the citzens decide if they want to let a few geedy indivduals destroy the police department and the city. :idea: :oops:
Re: Losing The Police Dept.
Well done, free speech and concerned spouse. It's about time the lid gets blown off this place. Sometimes exposing and embarrassing someone gets the ball rolling. A little egg on the face, just might do the trick. We are not the "perfect" department the Chief paints us out to be to the citizens and city government. There is a lot going on, that the public is unaware of. I thinks is time to let them know. The moral is at an all time low, police vehicles are uncared for with un-repaired damage and fading decals. The hiring process is terrible, and we seem to be scraping the bottom of an empty barrel, when it comes to new hires. Our FTO program is terrible and we have the blind leading the blind. Since when has quantity, been better that quality when it comes to productivity. I could run up and down NW 36 St all day as well, but i prefer to do a more well rounded form of police work. Lets protect and serve our residents, not bash them with 3-4 tickets at a time just to bring in the money. Last time I checked police work was not a business, it was a service. We reward those who make horrible decisions, and reprimand those who do a good solid job. Some of us are tired of being bullied and talked to for petty reasons. While the top admin spoken about above looks to line their pockets with more money, at the expense of their officers with the city mangers help. I guess they forgot that they were once in our shoes, when this drop program nonsense was shot down a few years back for the same reasons it is today. You want your drop program, so you can make more money when you retire, you want to stay on top until you rot in your chair and grasp your position of power until there is no life left, fine be our guest. We'll negotiate, you can have what you want, just stand by us and LEAD. Help us fix our pension. Do the right thing for once. Leave behind a legacy, not a cloud of smoke.

Re: Losing The Police Dept.
I love my job and I love Miami Springs. They gave me a job when 10 other departments turned me down due to mental instability. They make me feel at home. Thank you Miami Springs for the opportunity, now I must go take my meds.
Re: Losing The Police Dept.
I've got 3 kids and a mortgage. I can't wait for my paycut in October. I already live paycheck to paycheck as it is.
Re: Losing The Police Dept.
A couple elections ago, there were 3 retired public safety officers running for MS council. All were pro police and labor with public safety as a top priority. After a screening by the PBA all were endorsed for their respective seats. The local MS FOP decided to play their own brand of politics. Without even interviewing the PBA endorsed aformentioned retired public safety candidates, the FOP endorsed and helped their opponents get elected. Sometimes playing the wrong political game comes back to haunt you. In this case to the detriment of the MS Police rank and file and the residents they serve. Concerned MS police need to look into their own organization and determine if the political manipulations truely passed the smell test. If not, the only way to help your cause in the future is to ensure that their are no more games with internal politics which result in lack of support for MSPD.
Re: Losing The Police Dept.
Now we will be paying 22.6% into the pension...WTF!!!!! When are we going to take a stand against this city and show them they can't **** with us like this. It's time to go to every media station and expose the city for the fraud it is. It's time to protest every weekend until something gets done! We need to make the news every night and put the pressure on these cowards!!!
Re: Losing The Police Dept.
This department is so screwed up and its slowly falling apart. The admin are just sitting back and watching it go to hell. I mean this has gotten out of hand. Enough is enough, we have officers who have to get a SECOND job to survive. While others fly around in their airplane all weekend and take RV camping trips. It must be nice to live without a care, and over 100% of their pay waiting for them at the end of the road. I feel a big wave of embarrassment coming. This place has no idea whats in the near future. The media is on line one and we are going to bring the fight to their doorstep! Prepare, because its going to get nasty! Enough with this prancing around the bush shit. Lets show them we refuse to submit to the lashes we have been handed. We played by the rules, and it fell on deaf ears. Now its time to get dirty. I mean seriously, look at our ****ing city council. Is this who we endorsed, a bunch of cowards??? The boss may or may not be on his way out, but he is definitely leaving a large wet turd behind to be remembered by.

Those damn latinos ruined this department, but the south shall rise again!
