FWC

You guys ever work with any of the FWC guys. I was wondering what the relationship was like in N. Florida with those officers. We have a great working relationship with FWC down here. Considering a transfer in the future....just curious.

FWC = Florida's Worst Cops

Thx for the reply. At least you identified them as cops.

If you think FWC has the worst cops, it is either because you are just ignorant to what they are all about, or one of them tagged you and you just have a bone to pick with the agency. My husband's brother is an FWC officer here in NE Florida. I never knew how great the FWC officers were until I had a relative that worked for them. I know of no other officer in the state who routinely makes such a wide range of arrests, citations, and warnings issued. Just in the 18 months since he's been my brother-in-law, he has made arrests for DUI, BUI, possession of marijuana, crack, drug paraphernalia, underage possession of alcohol, indecent exposure, careless driving, taking deer out of season, all the license violations, boating safety charges, over the limit charges, littering and dumping arrests, armed trespass, burglary of a conveyance, etc., etc. They cover more area, on the land, in the air, and on the water, than any other LEO in the state. Every agency in the state turns to the FWC when there is a need for disaster response or for assistance in a search. Why? Because the FWC has 4x4 trucks, ATVs, airplanes and helicopters, airboats, swamp buggies, small boats, huge offshore boats, and more. They do more with a few officers in each county than any other agency I've ever known. Again, you must be speaking from a point of ignorance if you don't respect what your brothers and sisters in the FWC do.

I think he was reading a job description for you, if not, he will be the colonel in no time. Officer of the year, nation, USA, North America. Busy 18 months. Consider the academy he should have gone through, he has done more in a year than most in five.

I'm not sure I followed that...maybe you can try again when you're not so tired. I think you were agreeing with me that the FWC officers are hard working and committed, and make an impressive variety of arrests. Thank you. I'm happy that we agree on that. I know the FWC officers in Alachua Co. think highly of the deputies there and I hope the feeling is mutual.

Why do morons come on here and ask about FWC? FWC- they don't make any money - they have horrible morale, and it will take you 10 plus years to get any county north of Lauderdale.

If living in a single wide w/ 3 other rookies in Key West b/c you dont make enough to pay rent on your own sounds like fun then by all means - sign up

You're not just wrong Cuz, you're WAY wrong! I've made a career with the FWC and doing quite well...thank you. I've never even considered leaving. I live in a two story house on 10 acres with a nice pool. No brag there, just trying to prove a point. The pay could be better, but if you make smart decisions and sacrifice in some areas, you can do just fine...I've proven that. Different strokes for different folks. It ain't for everybody, but for some if us there is nothing else in law enforcement that even compares.

And for those of us that actually went to college....FWC is a joke.


P.S. tell your wife to come up stairs and pleasure me when you're done watching the Cosby Show.

Wow! I can't believe you just cracked on another agency talking about college and stuff when you can't even spell Micanopy. The funny thing is you probably live in Micanopy. What college did you attend? So funny. I'm gonna go watch the Cosby Show and you go watch Baby Einstein videos.

WE are just grouper troopers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Two story doublewide maybe; on an FWC salary come on man, bull*s*h*i*t somebody else bro or maybe your spouse makes 100K but you "ain't" doing that on an FWC salary working 40 hours a week.

Two story doublewide maybe


Now thats some funny stuff there. :snicker:

I just viewed an episode on tv the FWC spent 150,000 in equipment, pay,fuel communication etc.. to bust someone spearing a small lobster. You guys do a great job. Thankyou from all the taxpayers of the state of FLA. Too many law inforcement agencies!!!

.....and apparently not enough English teachers - as evidenced by your lack of spelling / grammar. If you could read, you would also see that this is the Alachua County SO board.

Thx for the reply. At least you identified them as cops.
It was only because "security guards" would have been an insult to the security profession. Those guys and gals at least work!

I work for FWC. I am currently at home, sitting here in my super-wide. I am enjoying a six pack of PBR, while watching NASCRAP on my 19" Goldstar tv. This is the LEO life!!!

If you are a sociopath and hate people, if you want to be alone in the woods/water so that you don’t have to talk to anyone, if you like to personally kill what you eat, if you don’t care about the advantages of modern style living and rather live out of a tent, if you attended school just to apiece your parents but you don’t want a career, if you want to be supervised by the totally incompetent; then and only then you should consider working at FWC, but you get a 4x4, a .45 and an AR-15 and a shotgun so that you can write that short lobster citation.

Wow. You got lobster in Alachua??

I have my doubts, but back in the GFC days when county lines did not apply and officers made their own work hours/days we did have some pretty "busy" officers out there. Obviously things have changed drastically. If we could pry their cell phones off their heads and get them back into the woods where they belong, we could still save a handful or two.
