Out of state leo - Which departments have best benefits?

[DCtoSouthFL]

Hello all! I'd like to get some imput from experienced officers in the South Florida area. I have three years of experience as a police officer in DC and I'm looking to relocate to the area. Which departments are best with regards to benefits and quality of life issues. I also have a college degree so I would meet all the requirements from such departments like Coral Springs. Your imput would be very valuable to me. Thanks!

You probably answered your own question. Several of the western agencies have pretty good benefits. Springs, Pines, Miramar, ect.. They can be busy but they are usually not as short handed and as busy as the eastern cities like Deefield, Pompton, Ft Laud., Hwood. Not being a jerk here but if you are a minority then you should work for BSO. We've had some other DC cops with less experience rise through the ranks pretty fast. Not fair, and I'm not being a d-ick, but its the truth.

look at pembroke pines

The City of Miami Beach has one of the best overall benifits packages you can find, especially the retirement.

Yea and being micro managed? I don't think so. Bigger agency is better

Look at Wilton Manors. They have several openings and an easy background check.

Wilton Manors has a backround check?

Have you been to DC lately? Quite comparable to S FL

Please submit your App to us here at Miami Gardens PD - we love reading this BSO site and we have great benefits. Free Sunpass, extra ammo, 5-0 on food no one would eat, & all the calls you can handle. We'll give you a pick of whats holding- robberies, murder, hostage calls by a loved one. :evil: :evil: :evil:

Stay away from Miramar. They just gave up several pension benefits and now have one of the worst packages over there. Very bad morale with many leaving and applying anywhere to get out of a city that is going bankrupt fast. Staffing shortages give them little time off without calling in sick. Miami Gardens is much better or Davie, BSO and Springs.

I work for Hollywood and i know that we have a good package 22yrs 80% with a COLA of 3% after you retire we also only give 8% towards our pension we also have an 8 year DROP and and a 8 year step plan we also get a step at 10,15,and 20 take home care and uniforms along with all your gear and a brand new H AND K 45cal. We also have very good insurance and don't pay much for it if you have a family call the police department if you are curious 954 967 4636

Look at FHP..... Staring salary 33,500 and after 20 years to get to 33,500. No benfits and no overtime. Why look any further?

good one.

Stay out of Florida until this tax crap settles down. Go to one of the northern state police agencies like NY, Pa or NJ.

I beleive Sunrise is the highest paid now in the county, for now anyway..
