From Trooper to MDPD Officer
I'm a State Trooper currently stationed in Fort Myers. I'm have been planning to apply with your Department, just as I hit my two years of service with FHP. How long does you app process take for Former LEO's? And what equipment do you guys working with? (Examples- Tasers, Service Pistols, Patrol Rifies, Shotguns, Take Home Cars,) Any information with Help?

You won't be hired. We don't write other cops here. You are automatically disqualified.

We use Tasers and have shotguns available. You can carry some bigger equipment but you have to supply it at least for now. The department will give you a revolver but you have to supply any semi-autos and we have a list.
There are worse places to work and you should look into Miami Beach too they are hiring and have lots of overtime and off duty money. Good luck

Also is it true that you guys only use 9mm for your sidearms? Also, I have a Bushmaster AR, will they let me use that?

And Boca, actually treats their cops like human beings. And Miami & Miami Beach, have 1% funds pensions which cost them nothing. Miami cops are retiring with a check for around 250 grand depending on the market. Don't know what the beach guys are getting.
