Looking at the last FOP thread, there has been some greats ideas. If we ALL join the FOP then we have more power and more say through the FOP!

Believe it or not there are several Sheriff's Offices in this State that have full unions where the deputies are protected and the in-house problems go down drastically because the deputies have a say! If we unite and voice our concerns to the FOP then we will get OUR agency back.

The whole point of BP and administration not letting us "talk" about FOP and not letting FOP send us emails to our office computers and not letting them be apart of our everyday lives is because they want us unorganized and un-unified.

How can we have a say in OUR agency if we can't voice it as a whole? They want us to turn on each other and have the "every man/woman for himsel/herself" attitude. I hear people back-stabbing each other all the time.

This isn't BP's agency. It doesn't say BPSO it says CCSO and not any one person owns CCSO. WE OWN CCSO, the people who work here and Charlotte County Citizens.

It's time for a change and if YOU want it to change then YOU need to join the FOP and start going to the meetings. Tell your fellow co-workers about it. If we can get 90%+ of the agency as members we will then have the upper hand.

Let's get as many signed up and active before 1/1/15, let's just see how this can impact CCSO. It's our only shot, unless all you want to do is just pray for the next election to be better.

As I see it my prayers haven't been answered in the last 6 years.

TIME FOR CHANGE!!!!

Keep in mind you will see "haters" on this thread, but think hard about who is writing it. Most likely people that don't want us to get unified, AKA Command Staff!
