Salary run-down
Winter Garden Officers,
I was wondering about salary. I know what the website says, but I was wondering if you have a step plan. How is off-duty work? Take home vehicles? Equipment?
Thanks for any replies.

Re: Salary run-down
How can you have any sort of career at an agency that might have 50 officers in it. Yeah yeah the people that work here talk about the salary being in the top 3 of the county..well I guess the hooked on phonix book didn't work for them because the only salary that matters is the TOPPED OUT ONE! What about trying to get promoted or at the very least going to a specialized unit? Patrol is the backbone of any agency but do you want to do it for 20-25 years with a crappy chance of getting out when you can go elsewhere. Bigger is better, the big mouth officer yapping about "podunk" is wearing rose colored glasses and is the biggest pu$$y around.

For those of you who can't count or use proper grammer (see above) this is a difference of $1,410.20. This difference must be huge to you sir. So I say again, the salary is good.

It's a very small agency, thats a fact, keep baffeling yourself with bullsh*& brother. Somebody has to work there and I'm sure your residents need you, you guys do have a hood to work, my point is if I was looking for an agency to better myself it "ain't" going to be yours, relax pal it's not a dig at you or the WGPD and I apologize for making it sound that way. I re-read my inital post and it's not right of me to take a swipe at your department, but like I said it does not look like a place to better yourself if your a brand new rookie cop looking out for your future.

Re: Salary run-down
There is no doubt that there are more units to transfer into in a bigger agency, there is no arguing that. Winter Garden is growing though and I'm sure there will be other positions to transfer into in the future I just don't know how far into the future. Not everything is perfect here but what agency is, but I do know the budget for WGPD did grow this year when the majority of depts have cut positions.
