Goodbye DOT

Good bye DOT, it's been nice knowing you. We've had some good times together, at least I have, I guess you never really liked us. Now you can't wait for us to leave so you can have our offices. Have a great life DOT, don't call us, we'll call you. Best of luck in the future.

Stepchildren no longer. Oh, wait, stepchildren once again.

Stepchildren no longer. Oh, wait, stepchildren once again.

So, does your pay go up to match FHPs?

The vacancy position is down on people first. Hiring freeze in effect?

Who knows! Nobody knows anything about anything...... like usual! But they made sure we got the pay schedule letting us know we'll get paid once a month. Just like welfare and foodstamps! Pathetic! Now, the Troopers are constantly requesting a DOT for dumb stuff, like tires and tags. Lately, I've seen them stopping more trucks than usual, and then you hear dispatch calling for a DOT. They think we are at their disposal, like a stinking road ranger! And ofcourse, our admins. are to scared to open their mouths and say " Sorry, but DOTs have a mission and it doesnt include "show and tell" on the road for your troopers! Scary Cats, No Spines! That's why most of them will get eliminated and the rest will run (retire)of fright! :devil:

No more applications are being accepted for FDOT/MCC. You will have to apply with FHP/MCC if and when any positions are ever advertised again.

You are crazy if you want to work for any State agency in Florida.

Does this mean that MCC officers in Tallahassee will actually have to start obeying traffic laws and driving the speed limits?

Wow. Sounds like you are going to have a rough time assimilating. I'm looking forward to us all being STATE TROOPERS personally. Why wouldn't you want to help your fellow Troopers when they need your assistance? I've helped an MCC officer with a DUI packet because they didn't do them very often? I will continue to do so. What's the big deal? I'd rather check a Truck with another officer 10-12 then checking it by myself. Safety in numbers. It's all 8 hours :cop:

Agreed

I help troopers all the time, lately more than ever! I respond to good and dumb calls too. But I'm sure my fellow DOT officer didnt call a trooper to help him with his DUI packet, most likely you showed up for the arrest excitement. I dont need to be 10-12 to evaluate a tire and I know how to fill out my own DUI packets, and no this isnt just a 8 hour day for me. I love what I do and I know how to do it well, to most of us, (FDOT/MCCO) is very special, we deal with CMV, these drivers make this country prosper by transporting merchandise, fuel, food, electronics and the list goes on and on. Items which make you and I happy when we shop, yet most people dont give them any thought. These drivers work long hours, travel for weeks away from family, many are underpaid, some are overworked, some companies wont even pay them for their work, some have language barriers, etc, etc, These people are the movement of economy in this country, they are not just another stop to make another ticket. We are not here to put these people out of business by loading them up with so many safety equipment tickets, they cant actually purchase the tires they will need. The DOT Officers job is to ensure the safety of the vehicle, load, driver and the public, plus police and enforce State and Federal Regulations. Our training is intense and constant. Dont even try to compare our mission and training to yours because you wont shine!!! It is a magnificent position of which I'm am proud! So sad, that your mission, to you, is just an 8 hour day! :cry:

Your NEW "mission" is the same as all troopers effective July 1st, 2011. Your NEW "mission" will be redefined (as will ALL troopers) effective July 1st, 2011 (that's right; current troopers, under the revised statutes, will be responsible for doing part of what you do now, and "new" troopers will be responsible for doing what the current ones do now). If it helps, your NEW "mission" will now be redefined for you under F.S.S. Chapter 321 "Highway Patrol." (the statute that will give you your authority as a state trooper) You can read what your job will now encompass in this link http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2011/2160/BillText/er/PDF and scroll to line 937. Your FORMER "mission" has changed, as paragraph (32) of F.S.S. 334.044 (the statute that gave Department of Transportation the authority to have law enforcement officers) will be stricken from Florida State Statutes and will cease to exist.
ALL OF THIS is posted here for a purpose. It is to get you to get a grip that this change WILL take place on July 1st, 2011 and you need to change with it. Sure, you're allowed to gripe and sure, allowed to blow off some steam about it, but not at soon-to-be co-workers! We have a chance of making this thing as seamless as possible. I have a couple of friends with FWC that I talk to, but look how long it has taken for them to get where they are now after THEIR merger. And there are STILL rifts that will take longer to heal. We all know the MCC division will continue to serve its purpose, but throwing stones at the people you are about to see and work with on a more-than-ever daily basis won't make this thing work any smoother. And no, it isn't just an 8 hour day for me (yep, I'm a trooper). My dad and grandfather were also troopers, and I've got 72 years of history and tradition I put on, snap on, button up, and zip up (easy, I'm talking about the shirt) every day when I go to work. I periodically look at the long line of pictures of Florida State Troopers killed in the line of duty over the decades, and think about some I personally knew and think of others I worked with that are still alive but are disfigured from being injured in the line of duty. With all that on my mind, I look in the mirror and ask myself "Am I doing the job in a manner befitting their memory, and would they be proud of me?" Don't you EVER assume that our "mission" is an eight hour day for all of us or you will be quickly corrected again.
The biggest requirement for any law enforcement officer to stay in law enforcement for a long period of time is to change with the changes. Change is consistent and inevitable. It is time to change, or leave. Come over with a positive attitude, not pissed off at everyone for something that NONE of us had anything to do with.

This has to be a truck driver and not a DOT Officer. WOW!!! :shock:

Dear Guest, I wont be quiting anytime soon, and I dont have to except a thing! And you can keep your unsincere welcome too, I'm ready to take this ride! Everytime, we make you look like silly, I will smile. On the contrary, its you who are unwelcome! If you dont like our comments, then dont read our forum! Or is it, that your tired of looking at all the mug shots of all your arrested troopers on your forum????? :devil:

You won't have to quit. One thing you'll learn about your new employer soon enough is that they are good about firing people who don't want to be here. Good luck with that.
YOUR forum is now OUR forum. Read it and weep.
Soon to be YOUR arrested troopers (i.e. from YOUR agency). Better start learning some agency pride...in your NEW agency, that is, and attempt to foster others to not be like those former troopers.
If this suckazz attitude is what you are about, you will soon be ferreted out and known by the rest of us (we're good about that). The rest of the officers that have to work around you will probably find it to be a breath of fresh air to be around others that aren't like you. I don't have to do a thing to you: you are already miserable enough, from the sound of you, but as long as we honest about it and agree it's by your CHOICE.

The original welcome was sincere enough; there was information provided to help with the mindset you should adopt coming over (most of us are happy about it; it wasn't so with two other state agencies that merged years ago, so y'all are ahead of the ball game). YOU seem to persist in the heels-dug-in, kicking-and-screaming, this-is-no-good-for-me attitude, instead of thinking about what's best for the agency and the citizens of this state. Eventually ALL state law enforcement agencies shoud be merged, if we are talking about what's in the best interest of the citizens of Florida, but hold outs like you will always be there to prevent this from happening. "I''m ready to take this ride." What a nice statement. If you CHOOSE to look at it like a beating, then like I said earlier I don't have to do a thing to you; you are already miserable enough and will be more so as time passes (guaranteed). For the rest of MCC that's ready to accept this change as something positive and potentially exciting, I'll be looking forward to meeting you and getting to know you. I've made some good friends with my agency and I'm looking to make some more. :)

Its the pay parity the is an issue. FDOT makes less base pay than FHP. We are to assume to roles and duties of FDOT and FHP and will STILL make less. NO an year later isn't the answer......With that said I am looking forward to working with FHP and their staff, not so much DHSMV but FHP. I hope you see my point here. I feel DHSMV hasn't did any favors for you....oooops....US Troopers. Most Troopers I have talked with look forward to working with us too. They are earger to watch and learn from us about CMV and not have to worry about the "my agency is better than yours" crap. Now we all can, GET TO WORK!!!!! No pun intended...haha :cop:

None of these responses are something to be proud about. Judging by the rest of your post you and the rest of the troopers are all happy and have great "agency pride". I can't wait to work with all of the happy positive people. Maybe we can have monthly meetings and eat cake! I heard you guys give out ribbons and other stuff for doing a great job. Is it true? It will be fun you'll see :wink:

My promise is that the next legislative session I WILL be on the phone and the email to my senator and representative telling them I want the parity issue taken care of! They will have no excuses, as we will ALL be under the same agency. I think that is something Director Jones, Colonel Brierton, and the FHP PBA should make a TOP priority before anything else on next year's budget! It's just the right thing to do. I can only imagine how I would feel coming over under those circumstances, and I hope the legislature makes it right. We also need to hit the Governor's office with contacts to let him know not to oppose it!

My Gosh! Take it easy man! Take a zanax or two! You guys can not expect for this transition to be easy for everybody at MCCO. Everybody has concerns and we are not receiving any clear answers. It's a move is easier for someone who voluntarily applied to move to your agency, but when you have no choice in the matter and your slapped with changes which include getting paid once a month, having to contribute 3% to retirement from a pay chec that has not seen an increase in 5 years, probable demotions or terminations of fellow staff, additional responsibilities, the probability of being supervised by someone who has no idea about federal regulations and how they are applied. When we ask and we can't get a clear answer, so we are traveling blind, It's hard not to be pissed, and it's dificult, even when we have no real reason to bicker, to be friendly. I am unsure, I know that I will have opportunities to advance, but, I also dont want to lose other freedoms which are so valueble they are worth more than money. But for you to try to stand down one of our officers with threats of how your agency deals with people who dont want to be there, by firing them"...... That my friend, is a cheap shot! And only shows what a bully you are, and that is why our officers feel the way they do about FHP, they have a superiority complex!... and the world is yours and we must kiss your shiny shoes! Please! You don't scare, threaten or intimidate me. Only officers who dont have loyalty, character, respect, who are cowards and cant write a ticket, get fired! ....... Oh hell, better learn to red tag a car fast or get fired! And No, this is not your forum, its MCCO's forum, when I clicked to enter, it said Florida Department of Transportation, not FHP. Check your eyes!

I expect you to back your "fellow" MCC officer, but don't cover for him by excusing the $hit he is trying to stir up by saying "Well, you know, he's having a tough time of this whole thing right now, OK?" I know a trooper said in his prior post that he could only imagine what it would be like coming over if the roles were reversed and that he would be calling his legislators to support you guys getting a parity pay raise, so yeah there are those of us who are sympathetic to your issues and what you must be going through. It's still not an excuse for your 'fellow' officer or you to act like chumps, then attack and blame the people whom you will be working with, especially when they say they are trying to support you when THEY didn't have anything to do with this! That only means you're just wanting to lash out like a child and don't have it in you to be professional, and if you can't be professional you don't deserve to work ANYWHERE much less with us. Your 'fellow officer', while still attending his own pitty party, made statements like "I dont need to be 10-12 to evaluate a tire", "no this isnt just a 8 hour day for me", "Dont even try to compare our mission and training to yours because you wont shine", "So sad, that your mission, to you, is just an 8 hour day", "Dear Guest, I wont be quiting anytime soon, and I dont have to except a thing" ( I think he meant 'accept') and "you can keep your unsincere welcome too, I'm ready to take this ride." I believe THAT'S what bought him the response that the FHP was good about firing people that don't want to be here, because EVERYTHING that he has posted indicates he doesn't. But that isn't just an FHP thing; it's that way with ANY law enforcement agency (surprise)! If you act like you don't want to be there and talk $hit about the agency employing you and the officers that were there before you ("Everytime, we make you look like silly, I will smile. On the contrary, its you who are unwelcome! If you dont like our comments, then dont read our forum! Or is it, that your tired of looking at all the mug shots of all your arrested troopers on your forum????? ") then yeah, you're gonna get run off. Does that make the agency better than your former agency for doing that? Does that mean the officers there think they're superior to you or the ones at your former agency for doing that? Quit being a $hitbird, get off YOUR high horse, and take a look at what your "boy" said that warranted this in the first place, and quit making excuses for him alright? It ain't hard to spot somebody that doesn't like the FHP and doesn't like troopers, so letting them know up front that they won't have to quit if they don't want to be here but instead they'll be fired is NOT a threat (especially after the $hitty comments he made about his future employer and work mates). If he OR you or ANYONE ELSE coming over can't come over with a better attitude toward the troopers you will be working with (that haven't done a DAMNED thing to you except try to make you feel welcome), then you will be looked at as nothing more than excess baggage that we will have to carry. Now don't twist my words around, but seriously read what was put here and THINK ABOUT IT. Now, those Xanax bars you referred to earlier are segmented, so you can break them off into pieces. We've got our own (thank you) but you may want to consider dividing yours up and sharing them amongst yourselves, if you find you are still having all the grief you claim you are having over this affair!

I hope you are not a DOT cop but some civilian trying to stir the pot.

Good bye DOT, it's been nice knowing you. We've had some good times together, at least I have, I guess you never really liked us. Now you can't wait for us to leave so you can have our offices. Have a great life DOT, don't call us, we'll call you. Best of luck in the future.

When I started this thread back on 5/8 I never dreamed that it would go in the direction it has. I had thought it might go in the direction of soon to be former DOT Officers expressing how they feel about the way Big DOT is dropping us like a hot potato and how they felt about it. Instead it has turned into a bashing from both sides- FHP and DOT towards each other. I truly hope that these posts are just civilians, former troopers and DOT officers or other LEOs trying to stir the pot. If the people on here are current employees of DOT and FHP, we really need to stop acting like this. In case you all don't realize it, the general public, other agencies and our elected officials get on this web site and read what we put on here. A lot of it is downright embarrassing. Whether you like it or not, the merger is going forward. Let's get together as the rank and file and make this as smooth as possible. We can't control what happens, but we can control our attitudes about what happens. Let's have positive attitudes of brotherhood and sisterhood and remember we are not each others enemies. No one is better than anyone else, we each have unique training and abilities, we both have hard workers and we both have slugs, we both have pretty people and we both have ugly people. We can and have to make this work.

Moderator- I hope you plan to disable the FDOT part of LEO Affairs July 1.

I agree! It terrible we express ourselves in this way (both agencies). I'm just a DOT who has no choice but to come over to FHP, I know I'll be OK, but there are so many unanswered questions. I have lots of FHP friends. I like them alot. I can't say that of everyone, but for the most part, it's good. I know there are alot of disgruntled DOT's right now, at times, myself included, and with good reasons. Just stop for a moment and think.... when someone is sick, hurt, or sad they don't want someone from the outside to talk or comfort them, they want their own. Let the DOTs express themselves to each other, and if a Trooper or outside agency wishes to give us a crutch, great....I can't make you understand, but I can ask you,not to make it worse.

I once handled a call for a trooper named Richard Whiskey. Is it true that they actually call him "**** Liquor?"

10-9?????????

Anyone know what is going to happen with the cars. Will they be switched over to black and tan or remain as the are until they are turned in at 200,000 miles? :snicker:

Well brothers as an old timer we brought this on oursellves when we started doing traffic and writing tickets on everything "BUT" trucks. Have fun now. :cop:

Retired dot guy, thanks we will have a good time now that we will not be kicked for doing police work. It will be nice to work for an agency that recognizes we are cops first and foremost. You old timers that want to call yourselves a cop but go for years without putting cuffs on someone will not be missed and its a good thing you are gone already. Enjoy your retirement.

Cars colors will remain the same right now. Through attrition they will be changed over to black and tan. For right now they are taking "FDOT" off the bottom of the cars and placing a Florida Highway Patrol seal over the top of the Department of Transportation Motor Carrier Compliance seal.

Good bye to a wonderful agency. We did great things, and will continue to do great things at our new home. Life changes and we must change with it. No one ever likes change. Colonel Dees, we know you did your very best to keep as many of us as possible, and to limit the reductions in rank and pay. But those in charge will do what they feel is best , even when they are incorrect.
