Personnel drain
Ron is taking good folks with his pay raises next door. When will SRSO begin to stop the talent drain?

SRSO is not the only agency with that problem... we have gained officers from Gulf Breeze, PPD and Milton in the past month.
Come on over... the waters nice.

Money is the root of evil
The money may be a step up, but the grass isn't always greener.

I agree that the grass is not ALWAYS greener, but the job is what you make of it, and you have to look at which place has the most potential for you to make it what you want.
Here at ECSO we have a good opportunity to move into specialzed jobs quickly. We have numerous deputies that have less than 3 years working in narcotics, outlying precincts such as pens. beach and perdido key, one guy with 2 years here is on the DUI squad, another with 2 1/2 years is a firearms instructor, Josh hendershot has 3 years and just made it to K9, etc.
Everyplace is what you make of it. Go where you have the best chance to do the things you want to do.

Quite teh contrary oh-unlearned one...
It is recommended that officers only stay in a specialized position for 2-3 years to prevent burnout. Otherwise you get narcotics officers gone bad, sex crimes investigators blowing their brains out over stress and traffic officers forgetting how to do anything except write tickets.
The key is to look not how long the have been in the unit, BUT WHERE THEY WENT to determine the motives for the move. Deputies who move laterally or up are expanding their expereience and taking on more responsibility. (hint, hint... that is a GOOD thing)

New Fema money
I read where the Federal Govt. gave Santa Rosa additional FEMA money.
The article said part of the money is going to the S.O. I hope we can use it for well deserved raises. I just want what the County Comm get for their part time salary. Sounds reasonable to me!
:lol:

With only a few exceptions I wouldn't take much stock in having "bodies on the road" that came from a school. It would be difficult to motivate some with a box of Turbo Lax. Keep in mind that in times past the original road dawgs have to either follow up on cases they neglected to finish or just plain screwed up.
So we're short on the road and now should be elated that we have help coming? Joy.
