Employment question

What type of schedule do you guys work? Also are you FRS?

Road Patrol works 4-10's, Special Services (Comm Policing, Traffic, DB, etc) are still working 5 days for some reason but have weekends off. We have our own city pension which is comparable to FRS except that we pay a percent of our salary into the pension. We are looking to make our pension a lot better in the coming years.

Do you guys have takehome?

Hey interested party, let me get something perfectly clear. Our pension is not like FRS.The only thing our pension and FRS have in common is that we have a 3% multiplyer. Try Doral or departments in Broward.

take homes after one year.

Aventura gives a take home car after 2 years of service. Most agencys give you a take home car after 1 year. We move slow in Aventura when it comes to our benefits package.

Thanks for the info

For as much as a few of the sour grapes post on here, you would think our dept sucks. It is not nearly as bad as some would make it sound. (Especially after coming form another agency that was Far far worse.)

Takes homes yes, after 2 yrs
City pension plan - 25yr (currently) with a 3% multiplier.
Road Patrol - 4X10's - bid by seniority every Jan - May - Sept. (Commuminty Policing, traffic,DB all work 5X8's with sat/sun off)

We do have a lot of things that an officer can do. K-9, traffic, Dive, SWAT, marine patrol, bicycles, and had a street crimes unit.

Aventura PD is great...But when someone states that our city pension is like FRS there mistaken.Lets not fool anyone.

APD pension 3% multiplyer JUST LIKE BUYING A NEW CAR THAT IS STRIPPED.NO POWER,NO AC, NO CD PLAYER, NO CARPET.

FRS PENSION
3% multiplyer
Drop plan
3% cola after you retire
money towards purchasing health insurance after you retire.
highest 3years earned go into pension
no $$ out of pocket towards your pension

Yes your right, our pension is almost like FRS.

What is the average time that it takes for the hiring process if you do well on everything?

Also are there alot of Off Duties available or is that by seniority as well?
