I'm a State LEO who usually uses H&R Block or Turbo Tax to do my taxes. This year I started doing some off duty work though; I am looking for a little direction. Does anyone know of an accountant...

How have they not announced this yet? I thought I would have been annoucned at least a week or two ago.

Little full of yourself aren't we. A lot of people here have done your job and several others. Being a deputy is not that hard ,I worked with plenty of doornobs doing that too. I bet you have less...

No, we don't "lay down in front of trucks", you moron. Laying down in front of a truck would insinuate that you would like me to get run over; it would accomplish nothing for getting my job done. ...

Says who? You? And you are so great!!! NOT.

Same thing to you... You don't have a clue who I am and you think I should kill myself? Wow, you are most certainly a "Class Act" yourself.

That's the problem. When you hire a director from outside, they want to hire their friends from outside. The only thing is really speaks to is the fact that we just stay put and deal with it. ...

It actually says nothing. It speaks to our "leadership". We poke fun because we believe it. Can't help what the appointed brass thinks or does.

I'm old enough and been here long enough to know I have nothing for him. I see what training is and I see how he plays favorites; it's not right. If you aren't in his special group, you are nobody....

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. I think that's about all I have to say.

You know the way this place works. If you get passed over for a promotion (especially when it happens 4 times in just a couple of months) you want they well just gladly hand out a special position...

The old gal? She looks like a man with lipstick; just pull up the Financial Services (FLAIR) website. Her best bet to get elected would be to get away from the Obama push. I don't know if you've...

I haven't decided if you are really even a Trooper, or just some moron on here trying to start problems. If you are in fact a Trooper, my guess is that you have 2 years or less on. You might even...

The only thing that I have every heard is that working construction sites, is that is a "conflict of interest". DOT cannot pay DOT for off duty jobs. My basic understanding of it is that DOT is too...

I guess you must be a member. No hard feelings. It must be nice just be selected into a "special" unit just because you are "well liked" by the brass in charge of it. And then in that "special"...

The merger is about money. FHP wants DOTs money. There is a simple solution that won't cose a dime. Merge FHP UNDER DOT. Take law enforcement away from DHSMV, and make 2 SEPARATE law enforcement...

My guess would be Rad/Nuke. Actually that sounds like a perfect description of them. 4 officers sitting in 1 SUV riding around the parking lot. Sounds like wasted man power in my opinion.

As...

Playing the Game has a decent point, and for all of you wondering... THIS is the loophole to make this happen. As far as I can read, MCCO doesn't really have a policy on nepotism, but DOT does. ...

The new version was a little rushed, and definately has some bugs, but all in all it's good. My main complaint that you can no longer run 10-28s by apportioned tags. I'm having to run most...

I said I lived in Central Florida... Holmes County is in the panhandle. And you really want to know, I live in Lake Coutny.

Control issues? Mental health evaluation? Please. The ONLY point I am trying to make is that you do have to live in a run down trailer with a crappy beat up truck if you work for the state. ...

Thanks for that comment FWC. But thats you. FWC and FHP..... there is no comparison.... completely two different jobs. Still got doubt then go do a ride along.[/quote]

IF YOU CAN HAVE ALL THOSE...

Ha ha ha. Major. You're funny. Try Officer. If you're not making enough, maybe you try SOAR, or hireback if they are still available to you. We have overtime, and I worked a little, but not an...

You really didn't read what I wrote. I said that same raise would have to be given to every LEO agency on the bargaining agreement. FHP has their own bargaining agreement. Remember all that talk...

Wow, and I thought our guys complained about pay. You guys must have some EXPENSIVE taste if you have to drive and old beat up vehicle and and live in a trailer. DOT makes about $2,000 a year less...

The raises don't work like that. If the State is to give us a pay raise, ALL state agencies must recieve that raise... FWC, DEP, etc. Big DOT has offered to give MCCO Officer's a raise in the past,...

We tried but you guys mess everything up. As a matter of fact, DOT contacted the locals for help and gave them a grant to be up there. This is why Boynton PD is catching criminals on the highway. If...

Ha ha ha. You're absolutely right!! You're a genius!!! Please... No log for the current day is just a simple violation, we put on a DVER, we don't write citations for that. The driver isn't...

The report has some errors.

1. MCCO is the only agency in the State of Florida authorized to
enforce Code of Federal Regulations Part 49.

2. DHSMV/FHP personnel are not trained, nor authorized...

I guess I'm dumb... I thought I was already law enforcement. I guess the badge, gun, and handcuffs are like a Halloween costume. And more states are moving away from the "Highway Patrol" and are...

I FULLY agree with you. I said, the ORIGINAL legislation had FHP merging into FDOT. Which would make sense, FDOT (not just MCCO) is a much larger umbrella than DSHMV. That would be from the 2007...

The entire purpose of DOT is to catch vehicles that do not enter scale facilities. To stick all of us at a scale house would pointless. That is why we have weight inspectors. I would make no sense...

Chill out man. I simply made an observation that farmers weren't poor. I didn't say it was easy work, and I didn't say it was something I would want to do. I simply said that farmers don't have it...

Amen, brother.

First of all, as I said... The original legislation had FHP merging into DOT. You would be become DOT officers. There is no legislation to abolish DOT, but something has been put out there about...

Poor farmers... Ha ha ha ha ha. Most of the farmers I stop own $50,000 plus pick up trucks. I wish I was a poor farmer so I could afford a F-350 King Ranch completely loaded out just to ride around...

Whoa, whoa, whoa! I read a lot of this and laughed it off. This statement is ridiculous. THANK GOD were are NOT the same. I am a State Law Enforcement Officer, you are a trooper. I enforce all...

Do you seriously not think a farm vehicle is commercial? Oh, you're right, I'm sure that farmer does all of that for free and has a completely different means of making money. Get with it, Farmers...

You are right... Aside from "dumbing down", most DOT and Ag personel aren't mindless robots stuck in the same daily function of speeding tickets, and careless driving tickets for EVERY traffic crash...

As a current DOT/MCCO Officer, I agree with certian points of your view. First off, the comment about pay is not true. If you look at starting pay for MCCO and FHP you will find that FHP's starting...
