During both jobs I have encountered many Police Officers that flew and a few Airline Pilots that were Reserve Officers. Cop=good stable career bad job Pilot=great job bad career |
Call your local P.D. or S.O. and ask for the # of the reserve division (not all depts have them) they will advise on their proceedure.

It's certainly indicative of how the government treats us. :( |
Memphis PD is hiring
Bad news, you have to live in Memphis. Worse News, you'd be the junior guy in Orange Mound, Whitehaven, Fraser, etc. |

Just a note to any furloughed brothers looking for a government job, the FBI went on a huge hiring spree 2 Monday's ago. There looking to hire 3100 agents, in all different areas. |
The good thing about being a cop is that you wont be screwed out of a pension and the big dogs stealing all of your money:rolleyes:

Shouldn't this thread be moved to the "Leaving the Career" section?

You got that right, a guy I know just gave continental 1st year pay the finger and got on with the FBI...it amazes me how far people will go to sacrifice for this 'career' to end up doing the common sensical option they could have pursued in the first place...
The pay/stability can't be beat (25% flat-rate overtime override, COLA, TSP), but the grass is always greener. It all depends on what you want out of life. Phoenix PD used to be one of the most modern departments out there, but it was all due to overspending. AZ has the largest budget deficit in the union, and its municipalities seem to be no different. |
Isn't Phoenix the capital for using radar and red light cameras to try to increase revenues?
After reading articles about them being caught changing the timing on yellow lights to increase fines, I decided Phoenix is not my kind of town. I'm all for obeying the law, but in Phoenix they are trying to trick unsuspecting motorists into breaking those laws. Unfortunately that trick has spread. Many Police Officers I know are beginning to complain that the primary focus of Police work is shifting to revenue collection through fines on ordinary citizens for petty, harmless, offenses. Some of the Officers find that very demoralizing. |
