Isn't it comforting to know that his salary goes up every year but the step plan never changes. Once you get to the top the increases stop.

Wow he has gotten almost a 10% increase in his salary since 2009. I've been stagnant at 66k for years. The rich get richer

Upon retirement, how come deputies don't receive medical, while elected sheriffs do?

[Unregistered]

Because the sheriff is a member of a union. No, not the PBA, FOP or IUPA but rather the Florida Sheriff's Association. There's no oversight of these crooks.

I can tell you another reason, because you guys are to stupid to stick together and form a collective body. You do whatever the Sheriff says and you will step over one another's backs for his scraps.

It is now nearly impossible to start-up a union because whoever tries to do that will invariably lose their job because they will be targeted and harassed with trumped up general order violations. It's sort of like rolling through a stop sign: you don't write a ticket for it unless the guy is a jerk, but the law is the law, so you CAN write him a ticket for rolling through it at one mph. Writing up a deputy on trumped up general violations is the exact same. If the deputy gets too many "points" (violations of GOs), then he can be legally terminated. It's easy to rack up "points" (GO violations) on someone that you want to get rid of, such as someone who is trying to start a union. Sheriff departments are notorious for having dictatorial sheriffs who answer to no one, except the voters who only see his Facebook page or his YouTube announcements. However, what goes around comes around and Knight is not an exception to that eternal rule. It's just a matter of time.

Here's an idea: Allow deputies to join the Florida Sheriffs Association's medical plan at retirement, exactly as the elected sheriffs get.
