Investigator

It was because they sucked, how do you grieve sucking? ///

I don't know all of them. But I do know that they all did not suck. OALE neds to promote from within.

[Guestofus]

no one was even given notice that they were not selected? ///

Does this surprise you ? No one in OALE communicates with each other. Not even the Admin. When you want to find out what is going on in OALE, you come here.

Listen up Tallahasee because you really need to hear this. AG Law Officers have lost the ability to go to CARL or K9 or Vacis or Aqua culture and now it seems like they can not even be Investigators. Meanwhile they work for the lowest LEO pay in the State ( maybe the Nation? ). They do a good job and get no respect not even from our own Admin. Tallahasee gets well paid to fix this and even gets raises when the officers have not had a raise in over six years. Truth, the Obama stimulous has turned the economic tide and things are getting better in the real world. Soon you will not be able to smugly say 'you are just lucky to have jobs'. With low pay, benefits cuts, no chance to promote within. How long do you think you will be able to retain employees let alone attract new hires.
Either fix this or retire. Or scrap OALE and return to the road guard system. Then when a weapon of mass destruction comes into Florida in a semi trailer the Government can freak out and spend millions to create a Homeland Security Agency to guard the Florida peninsula . They can call it something like ...OALE. Or they could just fix the one they already have.

This sounds like a plug for that as$hole Obama. Four more years of hime and there will be no America.

Yes, because everything that's wrong in this country just got that way in the last 4 years, right Guest? WRONG.. And that's President Obama to you. If narrow minded uneducated people like you continue to exist and be created into the world then THAT will be the downfall of America.

[Citizen Rick]

First dump Obama. Then dump public service unions. Then fire fat lazy Cops. Last, get rid of creme filled fat retirement pensions for government employees.
Let's get to work.

You guys have got to stop thinking so party oriented. I don't care who you vote for, but try to look at the issues and not only let one source (fox news, cnn, whatever) tell you what to think.

If it was Obama vs. Rick Scott would you still be towing the republican line?

Not only no. but Hell No ! My Republican Party has let me so far down that I don't think there is any farther down to go.

Listen up cry babies, If you're not on the promotional list, they don't have to promote you to investigations so get off your azz, study and take the test. The Inv. Lt's are crying because they gotta train people from the ramp. They want to hire people from real agencies that can hit the ground running with little training on how to do real police work. Ramp folks that never worked anywhere else just aint gonna make it on their own. The word is out and the brass agreed to it.

Now fire away at this post if you like, but its the truth. Hold their feet to the fire, make them earn their Lt's pay and force them to promote from within.

Now lets get to work............................

[Old Yes]

But wise not so much. Several of the current Investigators are from the ramp. I can name at least three that Investigations did not want that are now doing a great job. Give our guys a chance Lt. or Capt. , then if they can not cut it, send them back to the ramp with no hard feelings. If they can not laterally transfer, can not promote and never get a pay raise. And are getting paid less than any other agency. Why in the hell would anyone come here. What you are basically saying is that we suck and we better just shut up and take it. You do sound like the 'lets get to work' boy. If you are wise then I will be happy to hang out with the dumb guys.

real agencies that can hit the ground running with little training on how to do real police work. ///

Most "Real Police" do not consider consumer complaints to be real police work.
That why AG is left to do it. Oh great old and wise one.

So have the Investigator positions been filled, interviews set up/conducted. It's been awful quiet around here lately? Any helpful info?

[00Spy]

They have not been filled and there will be at least one more open position soon.

[Guest]

Why are there so many openings and no actions on the openings? Are they not good jobs to have? Do they have to offer them up internally before the public can put in for them?

Opennings come from promotions, attrition, transfers etc. They are good jobs but not everybody's cup o tea. They are advertised internally first then if not filled then they are advertised to all. The debate in here is whether or not AG Law Officers were given a fair chance this last go around. Personally, I think one or more of the open positions should have been filled in house. But I am just a POS. peon and my opinion does not count. My wife says she respects my opinion but I don't understand the rolling her eyes thing when she says it .
