Nice, I'm sure all these 20 year old recruits that are being showcased like models are going to be staying with this PD. NOT!!

Can we say training ground/stepping stone.
I personally spoke to two of them and they were already looking for something else. Guess what residents? You are paying for their training and your retention rate will be at 0. But keep believing the hype and the smoke and mirrors.
The CM/Chief are just trying to plug the holes. This is not to slam them they are trying to make the sh!t sandwich taste a little better with some condiments. But it's still a sh!t sandwich that the residents ultimately have to take a bite of.

Unfortunately, Mac Serda and the Councils policies will continue to spiral this agency into a black hole that will take years to fix.
Thanks again to the CLOWN POSSE.

I bet if Tom Hunker were Chief or at least a Major he would solve all these problems!
