Rockwall is a tiny agency. It's also a part of the Dallas metroplex and will be overrun at some point. Do you want to stay small or go to a bigger place?

Ha that not tiny for here. 80 sworn is pretty decent. Yeah you are right I didn't think of it getting swallowed up by the Dallas metro area. I think I would prefer something right around the size of 80 sworn.

Southlake PD is looking for laterals.
Ft Worth PD has a lateral and has openings Lewisville PD is hiring. I've heard they're starting at up to $77k for lateral experienced officers |

Rockwall cannot be absorbed by Dallas or other municipalities. It might not grow in land area as it gets surrounded, but will always be a separate entity

That is coming whether Rockwall wants it or not. It's happening to small towns around EVERY large city. |

So recently I have been playing around with the idea of moving to TX. Cost of living where I am at in CO has sky rocketed and pretty much the only thing I can afford here anymore is a 400 square foot place...and that's on Sgt's pay. Plus I am a little bit over the snow and negative degree weather during the winter. I go to TX several times a year and have enjoyed the state and the people. With that said, what are some good area's and agencies to look at? So far I have been digging Rockwall PD because of the benefits and pay. |

Thanks Gents for the information. There are defiantly some agencies I haven't heard of yet that where thrown up there. We will have to see how the next year goes and maybe I'll be on my way down to Texas.

Do not apply to Dallas PD. I spent 27 long years with them, I know what I'm talking about. I've always heard good things about McKinney and Irving. |

San Antonio is always hiring, but obviously it's a bit larger. Also, DPS is hiring for southern border but I dunno if that's what you're interested in. Finally, BP is going to be hiring another 6600 agents, they'll mostly be assigned to Texas at first but presumably you'd b able to transfer later when traffic shifts.
