For those of you sitting and watching quietly, I urge you to at least type an "I agree" or even "I disagree." Prior to this post and probably to a large degree during the initial parts of this post, your command staff genuinely thought pay and morale we're not a priority. They probably did see it as a problem, just not a priority. This is our time to let them know that this needs to be a priority. Our personal financial well being is a hill worth dying on. Our keeping qualified people next to us to have our backs so we can come home safely to our family is a hill worth dying on.
The update we received on the compensation committee shows just how much the command staff have not been putting sworn pay as a priority. They have had months (and that's being kind) to come up with a plan. There was not anything of substance presented. The committee was put together shortly before budgets are due. They are not set up for much success with such little time to put something together.
Though some if the original posters facts may be off (not by much), the spirit of their statement rings true. Pay is in a bad place, moral is in a bad place, and the leadership is struggling. Law enforcement is no longer a priority at a law enforcement agency. The Command Staff can talk all they want to about that not being true, but their actions and inactions indicate otherwise. The Command Staff have been warned about this before. They chose to not take action to correct the course. It is my hope that this thread and the good job the members of the compensation committee are doing with get them to see that they are not doing a good job. Let's come together and show them that we are a priority.

Wow
You sure OCSO won’t hire us? Cause we be goin and they be takin! But We can survey it if you’d like.
Don’t quote Polk... he’d probably kick your ass just rolling over in his grave from this crap. He also wouldn’t let his deputies get pushed around by the public, yet here we are doing the customer service special.
The grass certainly is greener when I can pay to replace it. It certainly ain’t green here when I can’t even pay to water that shit.

Deputies at JEPCF are reading this and agree as well. Everyone in this thread is talking about patrol but Corrections have the same views and issues. New DD’s are being rushed through to fill vacant spots only to be improperly trained and unprepared. These new hires are being pushed through even if they do not pass FTO training. Then the quality new deputies leave after a year or two. Veteran deputies and Deputies in the DROP are debating daily if they should come back tomorrow. Dual Certified personal looking to go on the road can’t because staffing is so low in the jail. Now they are looking to leave for higher paying patrol jobs. 100% of the current crossover academy is planning to leave the jail, and possibly SCSO, once LEO certified. Our chief has zero respect for any subordinate at any level. Inmates are emboldened while staff is afraid of the kiosk (grievance system). We’re afraid our pay may be reduced (according to LB, we make to much), we hear rumors the jail is splitting from the SO, we have a 300hr yearly PTO cap (btw, this is not in any G.O. nor in policy but the jail supervisor must enforce it), we’re over worked due to short staffing, calling in ppl willing to work OT seems to be forbidden, our DSO’s could make more at Walmart, and so on. We’re watching the compensation committee but have little faith in it. JEPCF will continue to have high turnover unless major changes are made leadership and pay.

They are getting hired!!!
Oh they're leaving alright. And...They ARE getting hired!!! Not only do we have highly experienced and capable leaders leaving for OCSO and OPD, we're seeing people leaving for agencies that, in the past, was unheard of, like Apopka and Longwood. How long before Sanford PD offers a better overall salary and benefits package??? You say leave and don't let the door hit you in the ass. Who's going to replace them? The kids coming in now who've never heard the word "no" in their lives and think being forced to actually do the unsavory yet mandatory parts of their job is grounds for a hostile work environment complaint? Do you really want your next sergeant's total experience to be one year on Markham Woods road and two years neighborhood services? Listen, Champ, we're not far from that already.

Some dumb deputy
If you truly know anything about John Polk and you aren’t from team DL. You’d know, he did say that. However, he’d also say if someone hurt one of my deputies he better go to the hospital before he goes to the jail. And he would most certainly suffer a heart attach under this administration. Hell he cried after he appointed DE, once he realized what he did before he died.
The SO has been a failure slowly building now more so under DL. Let’s have more survey monkeys and committees for committees. Shit, admin don’t like the answer we will do another survey after we force our results down your mouth.
We all had faith in this agency years ago even during the hard times. But, the agency only supports loser admin. My god you think the last group of promotions was bad. Shit, SGT JH and LT MS... two admin with only 10 minutes of LE experience are supervisors. JH he has no clue and a box of rocks are smarter. That’s the future of LE. The jail. They are punished totally. You’d be better off working DOC. Or even some private body. The new chief is worthless and treats you all like garbage. And the CH deps, come on you know you can’t screw up there DL’s wife is running you and if she’s not happy he is not happy. Guys, stand up or shut up. GET OUT! There are so many sitting in the fence. What will you do when All the other premium agencies are full and paying fat but your sitting. Stupid.

Sgt jh
Let’s look even furthe back at SGT JH and I use that title lightly. And SM they are a joke. 10 second cops with majority time NRD and speaking of another agency joke, NRD, those two were supervisors word used losely were 10 second cops. And now they have no clue. What they are doing. Go to other agencies before we become that agency that everyone says oh you guys, shred app!

Former SCSO
Unregistered is merely protecting themselves
I’ve felt the rath of SCSO when I spoke up and pointing out supervisors doing wrong and not to mention illegal things. It gets swept under the rug and they push out the ones that point them out.
Maybe more will get caught like that Weipport slug.
The Sheriff needs to contact and bring back the ones that left, the type of Deputies who really cared and backed it up with work ethic and values.
You really lost a lot of those types of employees Sheriff. But it appears you don’t care who represents the agency anymore, just the numbers I guess.

Feeling the pressure
This is the Committee that should have been formed. In any great organization and with successful businesses you as leaders should welcome criticism as well as praise. I hope this week the administration doesn’t come to work with their asses on their shoulders, but instead come together and formulate a plan to plug the holes in this sinking ship. Bring back morale to this agency and stop the cancer.
