Yes we will get a 5% raise. Should take effect next fiscal year. Since no raise since 2013 the raise will be a little over 1% per year since our last one. It's time to move on. Love the patrol but can't live on a snap card and in a county trailer anymore. Life and FHP is moving on and leaving me in the dump. Good luck you guys and gals . . .I'm outta here!!
Just think . . .big belly & company got a $20,000 dollar a year raise last year.

What will really get you is that in the budget he is raising the base pay for corrections to 33500 and they also get a 10% raise. Let that sink in. Plus he is letting them have a 1k hire bonus to new COs. So a current CO will get a 5500 pay raise and then a 10% and a new CO will get 400 less than a trooper and a 1k signing bonus.

At the end of the legislative session. That's when we always find out about stuff like that. And to the poster that said there were no bills supporting our step plan, you are wrong. SB 168 and it's companion bill in the house have been submitted. Bills are one thing and raises are another. Raises are done at the end of the session usually and they are part of the budget process. I don't mean to sound rude but it amazes me that in the era of Google and the internet, less people seem to know how the process works than when I came on twenty years ago.

Just having a Bill Submitted does not mean it will be funded, nor does it have to be approved by the Gov.
The house bill has not mention of any kind of step plan or any other kind of automatic raises:

So goes for the Senate version. And in the end its up to the Agencies to fund these Bills, while I agree its a step in the right direction it does not however ensure a raise is going to happen. The Governor could still veto them, or the agency can simply state they do not have the funds to fund the plans. Just like the current CJSTC program the small print always reads "pending funds available"

"Establishing a Career Pathway outline for officers. This provision sets up an agency to help facilitate, or perhaps counsel, an officer's decision on how to move through his or her career within the agency. This was a DMS proposal to assist the agencies with career pathing"
Seriously, this sounds like another excuse for the state to hire $60,000 or more employees to sit around and punch out numbers. We don't need people to "counsel" you on a decision to promote, that's a crock of S***. Promote, take test. Don't promote, don't take test. I guess the state needs to hire a specialist in this topic too, because it took some freakin pencil pusher making close to six figures to tell me what intersections crashes where going to be at....bull. At least they make fancy pictures.
Honestly, it's pretty disturbing you can sit a group of "educated" individuals around a table to discuss a pretty simple topic, pay raises, retention and they can't even come to a solution. Hell, I could walk into a high school math class and by the end of the day they would have a solution.
However, let's just look at this in a professional manner. You have over 100 police agencies in the state of Florida. Most have a step plan, and it works to retain officers. Why not mock that system but adjust the increases to fit within the allotted budget..instead you guys some up with some voodoo scenarios that makes no since and require people to jump through hoops to get a raise that no one can agree one 👎😞
