FHP cant say anything if Ive already worked it! In my district we are encouraged to worked everything we can. We get asked why if we turn something over.

Ya lost me bob, what are you saying.

Thats some good reading. Sounds like that the review states we act as a stand alone agency with state statute clarifying that we focus our work on State roads....and the SO work the s4 in the county....

The key word is DISCRETION, I dont write cops or immediate family member (ie: wife and kids, unless the kids are butt heads). However, I do have my limits. Anything flagrant I cant help you on. I...

Ya know, I am beging to wonder who we pissed off?

Who this guy? I like him already. Thanks Bob for the support.

42-thousand dollars each?????? And we have 3 of them for the whole state? Im sure we could have done more with the $126,000. Im sure Ill never see one.

I agree I think he was standing up for. He was willing say what needed to be said. Its a great gig and I would love to go. However, since I am a perm midnight guy I could not because of staffing. I...

Thank you!

I dont see the point in having red. I myself would like to take a look at that "study". What I can say is those lights are bright as hell even in the day time. A blind person could see them. I think...

Whats it going to change? Nothing! Before they get promoted they should talk to the their squad memebers and find out the real guy/girl.

This is what gets me. If FHP payed up and shows FHP as wrong. I know about that Trooper with 8 crashes. Thats why she was fired Knight put up with her crap for a long time. I wouldnt have paid her...

Yeah try telling that to some brass. Some want 2 tickets and hour...not any two contacts.

Whats the purpose for those quarterly things again?

He got a ticket and a lecture??? wow must have been bad!
I love it angry people post.

Ya know its really sad, but the saying is true. Every love a firefighter but no one likes a cop. I mean not disrespect to my brothers in Red. On the other hand they stand together. They fight for...

Wow! That was touching! Rock on good citizen!

Where does that Fellow Trooper guy come up with this stuff!

$28.8 mil for substance abuse treatment
-20 million will turn to 40 million when they go back in for treatment.

Chris, I support you 110% Let us know whats going on. I for one want to get more involved.

Tpr Michael Jones

Real bad guys with handguns & rifles have been killing cops at a record clip lately. And you think you have to make a point about speeding? Ok... There's a reason you don't fight real crime. At...

Well I do remember someone saying that one of Electra's ideas was to get more $$$$ for DHSMV and use the majority of to give FHP raises. Like I said I remember someone saying it. Do I believe it? NO!...

http://www.hsmv.state.fl.us/news/pr013108.htm

The Gov forgot. WE CAN JUST MOVE! Yo Crist, There are other states.

If he gets the VP for McCane (sp) He looses my vote!

You conduct a stop to where ever that violator stops. Yeah you have a better place in mind but you can control that.

Yes you bonehead donate your hard earned cash and when one of those brown nazis stop you on the highway and you show them your sticker, they’ll give you a yellow raffle ticket redeemable for 3 points...

I think thats it great the you read it. I thinks its a great way for the brass to to see what issues we have to keep you posted without having to formally having to complain.

I can see where your coming from. I will always be a trooper at heart. If their plan is to let FHP die then give me a package deal and save me a headache of having to go through another process. Its...

it took 24 hrs for a response but i will keep you updated.

Ha! but they can cut FHP's budget. They can cut whatever they want. I guess that state sees FHP as a "NON-ESSENTIAL SERVICES".

START HIRING GUYS!

My response to my email from my rep.

Well it has alot to do with my employment after we find out if getting shafted again.

We should all sue Jeb Bush for something like political malpractice!

I got a response, read the blog Not looking so good!

Former deputy?

Did he retire? Resign? Forced to resign? First and foremost she has to want to be helped. Help is no good to her if she stays with him. I know you will laugh this information coming...

They make you guys type your notes now?????

That is just sad.

I hear about that sgt training. Guys who ever put it on I want to see it. Please get in contact with Capt Donovan and see if he will let you put on a clinic for us. Its not big secret FHP is dumb...

If this is true, tell us what you know.[/quote]

He/she is being sarcastic. Next year is always what everyone said when the state denied our pay raises.[/quote:qd4l7390]

I know this!

If this is true, tell us what you know.

I heard the SSO wasn't hiring.

If Jesus were here today he would have been labeled just like any other person that goes around saying he is the son of God (a nut). He happened to around at the right place and time.

It may be real for you but its not for me. Its one thing to be old school and close to retirement. Im all for that. I understand the 90% who are unhappy because of they pay and the and some of the...

Thank you Farva! Stay safe!

OMG! I know who the masked Llama is.......

Is it I'll be x98 with 2 on a Llama?

Maybe from someone you know but this one.

look at it this way. if you have a female alone its not hard to keep an eye on her. you going to have to take chances in a career. if there is a guy in the car he use my four way and my floor jack. ...

when ill be back x8 on fri night

You can wear boots. If you want to wait for a tow truck when you can have that little tire changed in 10 min then your lazy. Standing on the interstate isnt officer safety wise either. How are you...

Glad you thought so.

Well when I first came out I got called to a traffic crash. Nothing major. From that point I bought a can of skoal and a mt dew. I then went to the interstate and wrote a few tickets. About 1:30 am...

Boy are you way off. AGAIN another ignorant statement.

Maybe when your fellow Troopers stop writing fellow law enforcement officers, fellow PBA members, and legislators citations.[/quote:3b3ftfzt]

Well.......when my fellow LEO's and fellow PBA members...

wow must be nice.

When is PBA gonna negotiate a new contract for us? I havent heard anything about a input from them.

It looks too intimidating! Wouldnt want to scare the public.

Spoken like a true moron. Hopefully someone speeding or driving like you doesnt kill your love one. Then you would have wished we were there to stop him. What a shame! You are one of those people who...

how many you have on mids?

Ok, I just emailed my rep, my state senator, and my congress man. Who else do I have to Email?

Get everything they need to them asap. I doesnt hurt to call if things are going slow but dont over do it. Be available for everything they need you to do. Dont lie on your app.

I would say that here is 99.99999999% chance that youd go back to miami.

Anytime! :D

The Capitan is saying that you will know where your going.

Thats just sad!

As for me, I dont write cops as long if your respectful. The way I look it is this way. If you get stopped by me then you know the BS I have to put up with, I dont need it from you. Apologize, make...

Nope as far as I know we are still taking people.

I dont see how other leo's think we should extent courtesy for non-house hold family members. shame on you old man for not being a man and accepting his boo boo. go cry some where else.

My family...

Yup I have one, Just curious to see what people are saying. Plus this crap humors me to see how divided we are as cops period. Its pretty sad.

If you have family or own a house they will try and put you back home but the way Orlando short and Miami it short. Youll probably end up at one of those two places.

Dude! I had that same dream!

I agree, 10 & 12 hr shifts would be better.

I re-read it and understand want your talking about. I now see what the Gov was saying. That is BS. Oh well. He will be glad to know he is a one term Gov.

Go on...

I tell ya what, working with him, you never know! But when I feel down about being a Trooper he pumps me up.

I just heard that the Capt is a real ball buster. I heard that he was in GHQ most of his career and they finally let him out and he has a hard on for a bunch of minor crap. Not my kinda Capt if that...

I for one can only be reactive. Dont have time to be proactive.

"Not trying to start an argument, just telling like it is."

Then dont blanket all Troopers. Be specific on who your talking about. Call that person out. Dont call Troopers out! Okay Monkey Nut!

Someone get a response from bill. I wanna hear what he thinks!

I do see your point. In the back of mind I think about if we were able to assemble enough to make a voice what would GHQ do. Would they leave us out to dry or support us? What would PBA do? Im...

This isnt a bad idea. I think it might work. I know some of us have close ties to the media. The Gov can pass a bill in a day. Lets put the pressure on them. Lets do it and see how ballsy PBA is.

we cant strike but we can all use our comp time on the same day

Im down if you can rally enough people.

You guys have got to be making this up! They hired someone with no LEO experience to be "Director of Investigations". WOW!

Earlier last week Venice lost another trooper who went to work for the private sector.

Todays zone coverage will be 1, 1, and 1.

Call the FHP legal. They might know.

Listen here monkey nut! Where do you get off with that ignorant statement. I treat every single LEO as a brother. Even if I dont care for them. I do. So shut your trap! Just because one trooper wrote...

I heard that we had a Colonel back in the day that was offered FDLE and he said not because its not traffic related.

I am a member of PBA. I should call and see what the hell is going on.
With out a contract what can we do?

OT is not hard to come by you pretty much have what we call SOAR and you get anywhere from 8-12 hrs a week. Theres also plenty of off duty over time.

Second that last post.

Is that all they really do?

I wasnt there but from what I just read, COMON! A little common sense.

What a shame.
