MEETING

[MOD 456]

I know where you are coming from and I hear you, almost every officer here is in the same boat check to check barely squeaking by. Not to much more we can do at this point it's up to the powers that be. Unfortunately for us the mentality is no one cares if officers leave there will always be someone who'll come work here. So that being said in an earlier post we all know what we need to do and that is process out. Nobody is gonna blame you for leaving to better provide for your family, which is our #1 priority!

Just a little tip on why the tribe will never give up any more money. They feel that no other tribal employees have the opputunity to make money while wearing a MPD uniform. THey feel you knew what the money was coming in and that you should not complain now. They are not concerned, nor will the ever about the welfare of a non-tribal member. You are not them, and you never will be. The security guards at hotel get treated better and get medical just like us. I bet the turn over rate there is not as bad as us. I am told that since MPD opened for business in 1976 there has been over 300 cops through the revolving door of MPD. To think that in 80's and early 90's they only has at most ten officers working here. Ray Weeks just enjoys playing cop, he is not a cop and never will be. Plus he does not have to worry about paying a rent, and all the other fun bills in life. Better yet, he does not have to commute 60 or 100 miles to work at 3.00 a gallon. The tribe loves to show off the outstanding tribal court building which is nicer the SDJC, but it is all smoke and mirrors for white world. I hope and pray that I can one day not have to tell my child ever again, that we cant buy that toy or see a movie cause daddy has no money. Having said all that I need to go protect and serve the tribe and of course serve at their pleasure. For who knows if today will be my day today?

would like to know how many officers have left in the past year and what is the count at this time?

14 INCLUDING 3 WHICH WERE TERMINATED.....

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS...WOW! I FEEL FOR ALL YOU GUYS. I USE TO WORK THERE AND GOT OUT IN GOOD TIME. I WAS TOLD THAT OUR JOB WAS AT WILL, BUT NOT TO WORRY, THEY HAVE NEVER JUST FIRED AN OFFICER UNLESS THEY REALLY MESSED UP. ALL OF A SUDDEN, BAM, OFFICERS BEGAN TO GET FIRED LIKE IF THEIR LIVES WERE A JOKE. I HAVE SINCE MOVED ON. I KNOW HOW IT IS AND ITS ALOT EASIER TO CRITICISE FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN YOU'VE NEVER BEEN THERE. I MADE ALOT OF GOOD FRIENDS AT MPD WHICH WHOME I STILL TALK WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS. GUYS, HAVE FAITH AND APPLY OUT BUT BE CAREFUL. I DONT KNOW IF ITS STILL THE SAME AS BEFORE, WHERE IF THEY FOUND OUT YOU WERE PROCCESSING, YOU WERE BLACK FLAGGED. HANG IN THERE GUYS.
