I don't post much these days, but this one I had to respond to.

First, CCSO WAS well represented at the funeral, and there were plenty of marked units.

I don't know what the original poster...

Holy infiltrators Batman! this guy 's a sleeper agent for the commies!

This could be worse than Charlie Crist !

Our loss, definitely Cape's gain. Jim has always been a 10-8 cop and has always helped out Patrol. Jim, Good Luck, you will be missed.

I don't post much these days, but after reading this guy's ranting against an agency he doesn't even work at, I felt I had to.

I checked out the Sarasota board, and saw a board where there was...

This must be a south Fl /Tampa Bay area thing...I have been working in SW Fl for about 13 years, and almost all the troopers I ever dealt with here were pretty 10-8 people....who honored professional...

Is there a deputy named John Tedder working at SJCSO? I heard he was either there or back working at DOC...

I work in Collier County, and our troopers here are great. We have about 60 miles of I-75 and a number of state roads, and so we have quite a bit of interaction with FHP. As a whole, they are...

Is that really a policy? Where are you supposed to clean your weapon?

I am a Deputy, and we actually have lockers full of cleaning supplies at all the substations so that you can make sure your...

The full academy is only 400 hours?! In FL the basic academy is something like 800 hours, and some of the schools have bumped it up to almost 900 hours with additional scenario, Homeland Security and...

one that feels good in your hand that you can actually shoot accurately.


There is no one "perfect" gun for everyone, especially for concealed carry.

Probably your best bet is to go...

How does the policy address this? Part of the law regarding licensed concealed carry clearly prohibits the licensee from carrying concealed in government or publicly owned buildings-the courthouse,...

They Do hire people with degrees directly for the road. If they have somebody who has a degree but for whatever reason the hiring commitee does not feel they would yet be suitable for the Law...

They did say no. But it sounds like they felt you had sufficient potential that they offered you a position in the Corrections division. Had you accepted, you could have looked at your time there as...

Well said. There is nothing wrong, and a whole boatload of things right, with going to the jail first. I went to college, on a criminal justice major, and I can truthfully say that nothing there gave...

I am not saying it will wind up in your file, but that is a common fear, in every agency, from the NYPD to the LAPD and every department in between....

P.S. - if you are reading this and don't think you have anybody you can count on, you are wrong- If you ever reach a point, get on here and somebody will get with you. If you want to be anonymous, IM...

Oh , yeah, from what I have heard, MAP leaves much to be desired, and besides, we are always suspicious that it will somehow wind up in our file and hurt our careers that we had an issue of some...

If you have road experience, you would go to the road. Your pay rate would depend on tears of experience.
You would have to endure the application process all over again, and upon appointment you...

I don't have a firearms purchase form in front of me, but I seem to remember that the question on the ATF form asked about you being "declared" or "adjudicated" mentally ill, or mentally...

oops! in that last post I wrote "subsatanial" instead of substantial.sorry....

In short, I would have to say NO. Obviously, the member would have undergo therapy and would probably have to get a Psych clearance to return to full duty, But I just do not see the agency summarily...

Generally, you must have completed your 1 year probationary period (during which you will be assigned to Patrol) to be able to apply to a specialized unit. The specialized units each have their own...

Brother, I am sorry you feel that way, and if you really were thinking about giving CCSO a look, I'd like you to reconsider.
Yes, most of us are proud of the agency and the job we do, but I don't...

I am not sure if the CSD's work a 10 or 12 hour shift, because they stagger their schedules a little for more coverage. However, they mostly work daytime into early evening hours. Their scheduling...

That is absolutely amazing.So everything is over the radio? What about maps and booking templates and ticket writers and CAD updates and all that other stuff? Wow. I have bee doing this for a number...
