What’s up in for Fort Myers? I hear half the civilian staff quit and LT SF is going back to the city?

About to get brighter. Both chiefs were asked to leave. Great day for ABT. Franco’s legacy of long term investigations and ops plans are gone! Barry’s worst idea ever the arrest tracking log will also be gone. I can’t wait.

I think you may be premature in your prediction. History has taught us that different isn't necessarily better.

Dim. Very dim.

High risk retirement, very flexible hours, most nights and weekends off. Holidays with the family, free car, free college, no shifts and best of all a very limited area of responsibility. The biggest drawback is carpet bagging retired yankees fleeing high tax states for Florida and rejoining the workforce armed with the misconception that they have something worth contributing and that we need it. Other than that it's all good.

This post is 1.5 years old. Still true. Metrics are solid science.

Well said and extremely accurate. You must be a senior agent.

I am a realist. This is a good job but not everyone appreciates it. It's easy to see what you don't have but it is hard to accept what you don't.

Me? I have had good and great times here. There have been a few bad days too. Much like a marriage, wouldn't you say?

Getting rid of a captain wil make us better for it. Now the other captains will come into line and conform. The captain in question was resistant to the new ways and not supportive of the new mission.
