Tampa vs USFPD

I call BS. Violent robbery calls? When and where, I didn't see it in the paper and I would have because everything "violent" that happens there makes headlines. Go work at USFPD. In a couple years you'll look back on this thread and laugh like I am right now.

What a joke. Have fun dealing with drunk college kids. The streets of Tampa would eat you alive and you know it. You base your opinion on our department on one ride and the actions of the officer. Maybe it was the last day of their week, or they just weren't "feeling it" that day (you can't tell me you are gung-ho every single day because I would call bs). Have fun being a higher paid security guard. We certainly won't even notice your application being withdrawn.

Rewind, a week prior to my ride with tampa I rode with USFPD, an agency that I never knew existed. I had a blast. We took several calls without any hesitation. The calls at USFPD ranged from burglary alarms to violent robbery calls. I had a great time during my shift with this agency. Despite the minimal lower pay, I could see this as a place that I would stay interested in the criminal justice field. Oh, and not to forget, these officers were extremely aggressive towards crime at usf and around the outskirts of the community. I only wish that USFPD had current openings. Sorry tampa, I will be withdrawing my application from your department.

Really?
Who gives a shit.
