Jailers are very limited on where they can go, not many agencies want a jailer who is dual certified when they can have a tried and true real deputy.

Re: privatize the jail
First I will hit both sides of the issue going around:
1. The PBA thing going around and the rumors that the Administration is behind it, " GO FU*K YOURSELVES!" you all had the chance when the FOP was here but you FU*K Sticks kicked them out because you were told to by a person that said he was looking out for your best interest and that they were not doing anything. Well you all must remember that person was the president and pushing the direction. Now all of a sudden you are running around scared and are going to sign cards for the PBA? Come on you all look and act like a bunch of puppets and fear mongers, get a grip of yourself and act like you can think for your selves for once in your life. I would for one love to see the papers print a story about how the Sheriff would not sit down with the FOP and talk about the issues and now all of a sudden he is allowing Lieutenants to hold meetings in his building telling deputies they should sign up for the PBA in the jail.
2. for the Road Dogs out there that keep posting your shit, remember your jobs is very similar to ours, same amount of time in the academy similar state test ( I have taken both) you are not shit. There are many of great guys out there and you guys do a great job, but for the ones that keep putting shit on this site remember one thing you always put it here and never say anything in person to the guys at the jail or anywhere else, great indicator of your ability.

Re: privatize the jail
Obviously, there is a separation between the Detention Deputies and Patrol. Some of you in patrol, not all, have often made it obvious you feel that detention staff is beneath you. I have observed this for 15+ years. It's funny in that I'm sure in Vice/Narcotics, have individuals that act that way towards Property Crimes, or even their fellow patrol members, etc. I can see being proud of your achievements or position, but everyone serves a purpose to achieve a common goal; to search, find, investigate, arrest, detain, and hold accountable in court, those who violate the rules and laws of this state. Some of you have forgotten your purpose, and have become more concerned of "status". Some of you have lowered yourselves in maturity and professionalism within this forum, so now I need to speak my piece. There is good and bad members on both "sides" of the law enforcement fence, and in each of the specialized areas. Some things to mention, if the jail does go private, the money saved will be returned to the Commisioners, or the entity overseeing jail management. You have seen the budget hearings the past few years, "Boss Hog" and his commisioners do not differentiate between the jail and the road when they speak of cutting expense/equipment in law enforcement. Even if the jail went private, the minimal savings might go to fund new lacrosse arenas and tennis court construction. That's if the commisioners could spare the change after multiple lawsuits are settled, paid out for "civilian jailer's" lack of security, violations of individuals rights, etc. I'm glad I do not reside in Pasco County, at least my taxes won't go up to cover legal expenses (sorry for the reality check Pasco citizens/voters). I hope the "scare" of privatization fades as the Pasco residents realize we do our jobs more professional, safer, and secure on both sides of the fence, more than a private firm would could hope to provide.

Re: privatize the jail
"jail security guards" spoken like a true deputy with a GED. some of patrol should take advantage of tuition reimbursement to attempt to get a little smarter like this guy who needs the small things explained to him. go back to school and get a job that requires thinking instead of reading radar guns for a living.
