    Take Home Cars and Retirement

    I'm interested in Fairfax County Police. Does the agency provide take home cars and what is the retirement like? Any info helps.

    You too?

    You want to leave florida also, huh? I was looking at Fairfax. The agency looks good, but the area is expensive. Pay is A LOT better.

    Where do you work? The only thing holding me back is the county doesn't offer take home cars. I was also looking at Chestefield County PD.

    thinking of leaving

    I work in Sarasota. the area is nice. but it is crazy expensive to live here. fairfax is also. the take home car is nice, but i would rather have the extra money. I hardly drive the patrol car off duty. im sick and tired of stopping for idiots on the side of the road that ran out of gas or whatever. i would off left sarasota sooner but im almost vested so i thought i would just tough it out for another year here

    I like where I work, the agency is great. I work for PBSO and we make great money. The commardrie is gone down here. The people in South Florida make it hard to want to continue living here. I love the take home car becuase I save a lot of money with not having to have two cars for me and my wife. I hope they change the policy soon and I will be north bound. Fairfax is a great agency. Be safe and take care.

    I work in Charlotte and tried out for Fairfax. They do not offer take home cars unless you are a capt, detective or above. They hot seat the cars and swap out the fleet every 6 months. They buy 2 fleets this way they can do it. You are right about the money, it is mad money up there. More details than you can work and they are always looking on the MDT for people to work off duty or ot. My cousin works up there and has for the last 12 years. Makes over 100,000 every year, but does not see his family often. They have a inhouse doctor for you and the family that you see for minor things at no cost. If you have something major, they farm it out also. It is a nice department and the people are wonderful.

    Thank you for the information. Do you think they will ever go to take home cars? Buying a fleet every 6 months probably cost more than giving take homes. How do you like Charlotte?
