I figure with all of the socioeconomic issues affecting policies and procedures of the majority of agencies nationwide we could give agencies who still allow their men and women to do police work some notoriety.

It can also be a good reference for those who come to the forum looking for potential employers.

I currently do not work for a particularly proactive agency nor an agency where administration would have our back in a tough situation.

If you know of one, please let the community know.

Hiring?

Do you consent to being messaged questions about working there?

DEA, US Marshals???

My local PD, State H.P. ?

No idea on if any of these are really that stand up, pay or any of the other facts requested..

I'd imagine a lot of members here work or recently worked for an agency and can provide insight of agencies other members may be interested in working for. I, for one, am looking to move and interested to see if any agencies pop up where I'm  looking.

Can’t help, know of some WA and OR agencies that are still good to work for, but the legislators have knee capped them so much that I would stick to a less idiotic state.  

There is still the “can make a lot of money” aspect, but that only goes so far.

Cincinnati Ohio PD
1000 Officers
Pay tops out around 90.

Message me if you like.

Pm me if central va is a potential prospect.

Minimum 3 years of patrol LEO experience, prior military, bachelor's degree, under 37 years of age? U.S. Marshals Service.

Arkansas State police is the only state or lower agency in Arkansas that's able to actively turn away candidates that other agencies would kill for.   Much of the last precert class were SGTs or above leaving their agencies to become entry level troopers.

I don't know exact current numbers,  but they're pushing 6 figures with OT.

The brass has their back and encourages them to go hunting.

Columbus Ohio PD
1,500+ Officers
Pay should be 100 +/- (I retired in '19, but I have friends behind the wall)

Had a former co-worker move to Cape Coral PD, FL. So far he loves it there and they are super engaged in proactive policing techniques.

Just about any Sheriff's Office in Florida that's at/above the Polk, Citrus, Pasco, Hernando, Sumter, Lake, and Volusia county line. From Jacksonville west to Pensacola, all are still in the LE business for the most part. All the agencies around me are still getting after criminals. Can't speak for the city PD"s.

Pay varies greatly. Sizes vary.

Contact FDLE and ask them to send you a list of all the Sheriff's Offices and Municipal PD's.

ETA- Florida Highway Patrol will run your ass to the moon and back, they currently give zero fucks about being politically correct when it come to chasing your ass.

PA state police.  Of course it depends on where in the state you work.

Maine State Police is a good organization. My cousin will be retiring in 2 more years. Went from 20 years as a road dog to commercial vehicle for the stable 9-5 just before retirement.

The good: very professional, low drama, good benefits, the garbage cities have their own PDs so you don't deal with a lot of that.

The less good: DAs aren't dealing with speeding tickets < 30 over so troopers simply stopped writing them. (That might be viewed as good), backup can be 45 minutes away sometimes, it can get damned cold, Maine is Democrat run but, the caveat to that is that it's really because of a couple of southern counties so the overall culture is not bad. The pay isn't amazing but, you can do alright. Average start is $61,721.
