I can't believe most of the guys I used to work with that planned on leaving when I was there are still *****ing and complaining about the working conditions at Hialeah. They had the chance to leave and now most of you are "stuck" because of the bogus stuff they are adding to your files. Guys nowadays with the cost of living being so high it's all about the money and your dept ain't giving you crap. No take home, hardly any shift differential, low ED pay. Wake up and stop being slaves to this city that doesn't care about it's officers. Get the hell out and stop worrying about contacting PBA and making complaints. You're not going to get anywhere. Davie is still hiring and the background invest. is an ex Hialeah P.O. If not Davie then check out Sunrise, West Palm Beach, BSO to name a few. Anything is better than the crabhole you guys work at.
Check out what other departments are offering:
Sunrise Police officers will be voting on thier new contract in May. Newly hired officers will be starting out at $46,500 and topped out officers will be making $78,000. The top out for Sargeants will now be $94,000. This is not including overtime, off-duty detail ($30.00 per hour), and court overtime. Free medical insurance (PPO or HMO), 6 year DROP plan and a fixed 9% pension contribution rate for life is also in the new contract. When this new contract takes effect, Sunrise Police department will now be the highest paid department in the county (Broward), 2nd highest in the state. The city of Miami Gardens is the only department who pays thier officers a higher salary (Funded by Bonds), but who really wants to work there. Plans for construction on the new Police department Building are also in the works.
Correcting erroneous statments:
Once the Sunrise contract is ratified it will reveal the following contrary to what the Coral Springs Officer's posting stated:
Starting Salary will be $49,541.00 as of April 1st 2007
Top-salary fo Officer will be $77,176.00 as of January 1st 2009

off duty detail rate will rise to $29.00 by October 2008
A fixed pension contribution will be 9.84%, not 9% as stated
AS OF OCT 2007, CITY OF MIAMI WILL START THEIR OFC AT 47,300 AND TOP OUT AT 77,000. BY OCT 2009 STARTING PAY WILL BE 51,000 AND TOP OUT OF 81,000...NEW 3 YR CONTRACT,..
