    Them injuns are gettin the best of the best and they are willing to pay for it. No - money aint everything, but it sure helps pay the bills.

    Quality

    Quality is in the individuals, not the department. The quality that our men and women have is what makes OPD a quality department.

    Money? I have 28 years with the City of Okeechobee and can tell you honestly that I have averaged just over $1,000.00 per year raise. I really don't think that is bad. When I started in 1981, I brought home $147.00 a week. Now? Almost $600. Life is good.....

    If someone wants to go elsewhere, believes they are bettering themselves and makes 5 to 10 grand more a year with perks - I cannot fault them.

    this sounds better

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    well heres a thought for you......6.5% pay raise 2 yrs ago.
    which without all the opposition.. probably (not saying it would have)
    would have become a 3 yr plan which is usually the case when a bargaining agreement is reached.
    6.5 plus, 6.5 plus, 6.5 percent equals 19.5% pay increase over 3 yrs.

    lets break this down.

    say you make 40K
    first year pay goes to......42,600
    second year pay goes to.....45,369
    third year pay goes to.....48,317......wow

    now lets break this down
    say you make 40k
    first year pay goes to.....42,600
    second year paywent to.....44,602
    third year pay ????.....im guessing.....44,602.
    3,715 dollar difference

    breaks down into roughly 310.00 dollars per month. a nice car payment
    or with the cost of fuel rising everyday a tank of gas.
    but it wont happen.
    all because.
    it would not have hurt anyone.
    EVERY officer would have benefitted
    EVERY officer.

    Whats wrong with trying to make 5 to 10 grand more a year with perks HERE someday in the not so distant future. i for one would love to see this department be more than just a place to get a few years of experience.

    The only thing i have about the RES is that they need to control them injuns so we dont have too. Oh, and maybe help control the drugs that are being manufactured and destributed to our areas. Maybe one day.
