Or maybe you've got a civilian with cop envy...

The path to leadership and promotion is rarely blazed by hard working cops. Instead, it's blazed by political people with people skills. That's just the way it is. If you want to be a hard working street cop, then have at it -- but don't be surprised if it doesn't get you advancement within the agency. It's won't. Again, that's just the way it is everywhere -- not just FDLE -- but everywhere.

The path to leadership and promotion within FDLE is blazed by political wannabes with a$$kissing and back stabbing skills. No need to disrespect street cops just because you think you're superior. You're not. Delusional perhaps, but not superior.

You may have valid points, but either way, they get promoted and move ahead -- and you don't. You remain stuck.

FDLE is the worst place to go because the Supervisors are the shitheads that got run out of other departments because they were exactly that.. shitheads. So they apply to FDLE (and get glowing recommendations because the other agency wants them gone) and they think they are the greatest because they actually have LEO experience and think they are better than everyone else there.

You're better staying at your Agency or going with the Feds. FDLE has become a bigger and bigger cesspool of feces as the years have gone on and there's no sign of redemption.

All state agencies in Florida are underpaid and undervalued. FDLE is no exception, although it's certainly better than all the others.

Better than all the others? That is very subjective. Better than some at avoiding work and creating the illusion of value would be most accurate.
