Mr(s) private citizen, thank you for your support, but before you make a comment like that, how about stepping outside of your comfort zone and sign up for a ride along and see first hand what it's like.
IT AIN'T TV!

Don't feed the troll. That was not a private citizen. That was most likely the STFU and Quit Lesbian!

Hello. I am a private citizen who supports the police. I am very disappointed by the tone of the post. You sound like a cry baby and possibly even a sissy boy. If my family is ever in danger, I hope you don’t respond. I can only pray they send a real officer.

Hahahha! Thank you for your concern “private citizen”. Go back home, fuk up your life, keep making terrible decisions, keep self destructing, let your problems grow for decades, then call us to come fix in 30 min what morons like you bring upon yourselves get what you deserve. All while being demanding and entitled. We actually cater way too much for people like you. We should stop responding to your nasty lives and let you learn on your own. Morons that get what they deserve due to how they choose to live are not victims. Liberal agencies like this one are all you have to feel validated.

I know, I know. It was a troll posting, but other morons will still read it and get the point.

This is a great post.

I would like to take it a step further.

Patrol in general, even under great leadership and staffing, is miserable. It is the most dangerous, we are first on scene to handle the chaos, and we do all the managing of peoples emotions, which in my opinion, is the most mentally draining and destructive part of the job. With that said, we signed up for that, HOWEVER, it is the agencies duty to offset that factor as much as possible by reducing the exposure with a full staff and even extra deputies, remember when we used to have floater units and razor units?, to handle when people were off. Moreover, once the positions is mastered, senior officer should me moved and replaced. This is necessary in order to prevent burnout and to make this job sustainable.

We are not all running around clawing and demanding transfers and promotions for more status and power. No, many of us want that to simply get off the streets. That is not a good reason to promote or transfer.

Here is the fatal flaw with this agency. Its truly this simple. All the citizens complaints, poor moral, resignations, early retirements, mental breaks, suicides, divorce, substance abuse, and so on... it can all be prevented. It starts with patrol. Make it fun. Make it a good place to work. Keep patrol fully staffed. Everything will fall into place after.

Here is the issue. Everyone comes in and gives it 300%. They do this in hopes to shine and be noticed. Noticed in order to promote or transfer to get off patrol. They see how patrol under these conditions can not be sustained for 3 decades, so they floor it, risking burn out, and give it all they have. Once they get passed over and over and over again, they give up. Once they give up, they stop trying. Here is the kicker. Here is the HCSO mind fuk! They give up and slow things down and give it 100%. 100% is all that is required. However, here at the HCSO, thats not enough. See, thats how they cut cost and run this place with half the officers. With officers running at over capacity fueled by hope. Hope to transfer. When that doesn't happen, they give up. They stop falling for the “If you are on time, you are late” bullshiit, putting yourself and your family second to the agency for nothing. These are NOT LAZY SLUGS. These are people that now pace themselves in order to be able to maintain this career on the front lines for 3 decades. If they speak up about this paradigm, they are treated like lazy outcasts, when they work plenty hard. They just stop kissing ass or going out of their way. Kind of like what manipulative groups like scientology do to members that speak up. Same concept.

Right now a one year deputy and a 20 year deputy are all in the same. Same value. Its cheaper for them to let a 20 year senior deputy quit and replace them with a new one making half the money. Both are zero value. The only reason they give a crap about new guy quitting, under 2 years on, is only because the agency has to eat the cost of the academy and training. Not because they care.

Fix patrol and deputies wont be clawing for promotions. Fix patrol and deputies wont burn out and quit. Fix patrol to where we can enjoy this job again. Fix it to where it can not be used as a punishment. Give is more deputies, give us time at the end of the shift for reports and admin, get us he to our families on time. Bring back the 2nd shift. Citizens will notice the change.

Best post I've read in a very long time! You spoke nothing the truth. God bless you and be safe out there.

You see, that's the problem. Deputies getting passed over, and over, and over, and over, even though they've demonstrated numerous accomplishments. Yet, they constantly get passed over, in favor of those who have demonstrated very little, to nothing. After a certain number of years, or decades, of the same old thing, maybe these deputies have decided to try demonstrating exactly what got the connected, the diverse, the alternate lifestyle deputies promoted and or transferred... very little to nothing.

After all, the definition of insanity is doing there same thing (demonstrating accomplishments) over, and over, and expecting a different result (transfer or promotion). So sanity would be no longer demonstrating accomplishments. Just like the connected/diverse deputies did when they got transferred/promoted.

It keeps happening here every year. It will never change.
