Applying

I'm submitting an application and taking the required tests. I'm looking for some opinions on the agency and working for them. Personally, I have never heard anything negative, and in fact I hear you guys got your act together over there. So let's have it, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Thanks, be safe

You must be applying to a lot of agencies. I seem to remember the exact question formated the same way on several other threads. But anyways, this is good agency to work for. Starting pay as of Jan 1, is 40,00 plus incentives. Contact Sgt. Mohaupt, he is in charge of recruiting at the Punta Gorda Police Dept.

Like anything else in life, it is what you make of it.

I would suggest you do real research, If you are going to decide wich agency to work for by looking at this web site then you are an idiot.

I'm not making the decision to apply based solely on this website. Thanks for the kind words. Take care

you have not heard anything negative yet, but if you get a job at the PGPD negative is all that your gonna hear. Oh and if your not certified dont bother the city is poor right now and prob wont pay for your school.

Don't mind gonesoon. Hopefully he'll be gone soon.

Haaa what an idiot. Where did you get this information. The city is poor? are you kidding me. Obvioulsy you havent been to Punta Gorda. Punta Gorda PD prefers persons that are certified. Although its not mandatory. The dept is strong, the pay and bennefits are great.
