Unfortunately you are not wrong and everyone knows it. Sometimes (often times) I think that we are our own worst enemies. I plan on moving to an area (not Broward) where the police are respected and getting a job there. Why should I work for less money and have my children grow up in a ghetto influenced culture. The truth is departments across the country are trying real hard to hire black officers. Everyone knows it, so why should I continue to work for a department wherein the pay is going to continue to decline. I want my future children to be raised with a can do attitude, not a victim attitude. I can't say one way or the other what the previous poster's attitudes are about blacks. Probably not that great, who knows. What I do know is he or she is right about the average black attitude about our profession. Everyone has to do what is best for themselves. I don't believe that staying here is best for my (or family) long term situation.

I along with EVERY officer that has left in the last five years that I have talked to agree on one thing: the grass is greener elsewhere. Do lot listen to the unhappy old timers that sit in the back of roll call and tell you otherwise. Several of the people who have left in the last year alone are already on specialized units at their new departments and tell me how high the morale is. Leave now if you can!

Every officer that hasn’t left in the past five years is happy that they did. We have guys who are on probation at their other departments getting on specialized assignments because of their work ethic. Don’t listen to the disgruntled old timers in roll call that tell you the culture is the same everywhere. It’s not. Leave now if you can and your career will be better for it and you will be happier!
