FL deputy thinking about applying to SPPD
Been with my current SO going on 5 years. Currently traffic unit/motors officer. Tired of working in the sticks/retirement community. I like St Pete and have been looking at applying based on the current salary (which seems better than Tampa PD at this point). Looking for real opinions about the Dept and if it’s worth trying to get on down there.

Why do you say that? I’ve read some of the other topics on this thread and it seems like some guys aren’t too fond of SPPD. I don’t work there so I can’t disagree with what’s being said but I’d like to know the real deal. Are you guys micro managed? Does morale suck? Is it just non stop calls for service all shift? Like why does everyone sound like it’s awful down there? It seems like you guys are hiring constantly... and that 8k signing bonus sounds pretty nice. But why are you guys hiring so much? Is the retention rate among new officers that bad or are you guys losing officers to retirements, etc.

Please don't rely on the peanut gallery when choosing to apply with SPPD. There are always issues with any agency, but it is not nearly as bad as some would like you to believe. It's what you make of it. We are currently in a transition period with over 30 retirements last year. We are also hiring to deal with dozens of retirements over the past 2-3 years. This place is what you make it and the pay and benefits for a certified officer aren't too bad.
