A message from your command
Sgt's and Lt's.
Actually, I should just say Lt's. A quick poll tells me that Sgt's didn't really want out of the FOP. Anyhow, thank you for your sacrifice. We promise not to cross you, that is until we decide that it's time for you to go.
As long as you play along with our master plan, you should be fine. In the meantime, I invite you to join the FDSA, which is run and maintained by the FSA. Please get with Eric B., who will be able to sign you up, being that he is a board member of the FDSA and the voice behind us pulling out of the union. Please keep in mind though, in order to be covered by the FSDA, you need to be actively employed by the agency you signed up under. If the Sheriff fires you, you have no coverage. As opposed to the FOP, who has always worked for you, and provided coverage in your worst times. As long as you are a dues-paying member that hasn't been convicted of a crime, you are covered by the FOP legal plan.
Think about this, old-time CCSO members. Do you really want to depend on your employment status to determine if you have coverage? If history repeats itself, you will be fired and policy will be changed before you ever have a say in protecting your career. Instead of dropping out of the union, think about joining the union executive ranks. This is where you can make a difference for the rank and file which is very honorable in itself. Lets's face it, our current admin does not respect the FOP admin and will likely never will. We need members of rank and status to join the FOP in protecting us.
