TAMPA — The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is stretched a little thin these days.






   

   



       


One of the largest sheriff’s offices in the country,
HCSO is short 208 deputies, officials said. There are another 170
openings for detention deputies to work in the county’s jails.






   


   



       


"It’s something that we’re concerned about,” said Richard Lozada, the agency’s recruitment and screening manager.






   


   



       


For the first time in several years, officials said,
the agency is accepting applications from pre-certified law enforcement
officers from other agencies who can bypass the six-month academy
training for new deputies. That’s a big policy change for HCSO, which up
until recently has preferred to train its recruits on its own.






   


   



       


"This is a way for us to get officers out there on the road a little bit quicker,” Lozada said.






   


   
       


Like many law enforcement agencies across Tampa Bay
and the country, the sheriff’s office is facing a staffing crisis in the
face of a large exodus as baby boomer officers and deputies reach
retirement age.





...
HCSO may not offer the highest salary of all
the law enforcement agencies in Florida, but it does offer competitive
benefits, McKinnon said.






   

   



       


"I think once you look at the entire package, we’re
certainly if not better than we’re equal to most agencies anywhere
around,” he said.

"The training consists of a two week Sheriff's Orientation Training
(S.O.T.), a six month academy and 8 to 10 weeks of module training. The
Sheriff's Office will provide all books, materials, and uniforms
(excluding footwear). Those selected for hire will receive $17.23 per
hour (40 hour work week) and full benefits during this training period.
After this training is completed the recruit is sworn in and their
salary increases to $44,881.20 per year as a certified law enforcement
deputy."

That's usually the case.

How about this; Fundamentally alter the LEO/Criminal paradigm so as to negate the need for this type of bloated & paradoxically unattainable system of "confinement & rehabilitation".

Just sayin.

Mandating their own specific academy, followed by a minimum of two years of service to the agency, has got to hurt their applicant pool.

The article stated that they will be waiving the internal academy requirement.  Evidently they need a webmaster also.

Incarceration only works on the reformable of mind: let's start there.

Degradation of the peaceful societal fabric can not be solved by further criminalization of criminals: At some point the fault of a serendipitous system of blind Logic will need to be dealt with lest the fabric be torn away completely.

Proper recourse exists outside of our current execution of behavioral modification.

It is excruciatingly obvious, however, dynamically rejected by a large number of constituency.

Very shiny indeed.

See it? See it?. Now go fetch!

I've seen the reformation of the ill-minded of society. It is a miraculous thing to behold.

That being said, how was the peace maintained prior to this unending cycle of incarceration & increasingly inflating system that perpetrates its own growth?

For starters, you're talking about a colonial society with low population density
Most people lived and died within a 20 mile radius.
There simply weren't the opportunities to engage in habitual criminal activities and if someone did, the locals took care of their own problems
The Puritans, for instance, strongly enforced a societal model where you were expected to live around the green so the rest of the population could watch over you and keep you on the moral and legal straight and narrow path. Societal shaming through a variety of means too many to sit here and list
If you want to go outside of American culture they used to lock you up for a whole lot less than what we do now. Ever hear of debtors prison?
When's the last time you saw anyone in the US locked up because you were from outside the local town and you had no cash in your pocket. That wasn't unusual 80 years ago

You still aren't offering any suggestions, you're pointing at the past and claiming things were done differently.
To a certain extent they were, because society faced a different set of issues and they had different resources.

But lets stay in the here and now. if you aren't happy locking up criminals, what is your solution.

You're too kind. No, really. I usually shoot for $10 words.

So how many more cops do you think need to be hired to "Fix" everyone?

How many prisons n the d to be built to house everyone, eventually including yourself, to separate them from you or you from them?

How many more politicians to prop themselves up as saviors of those defunct by their own devices?

For starters, you're talking about a colonial society with low population density
Most people lived and died within a 20 mile radius.
There simply weren't the opportunities to engage in habitual criminal activities and if someone did, the locals took care of their own problems
The Puritans, for instance, strongly enforced a societal model where you were expected to live around the green so the rest of the population could watch over you and keep you on the moral and legal straight and narrow path. Societal shaming through a variety of means too many to sit here and list
If you want to go outside of American culture they used to lock you up for a whole lot less than what we do now. Ever hear of debtors prison?
When's the last time you saw anyone in the US locked up because you were from outside the local town and you had no cash in your pocket. That wasn't unusual 80 years ago

You still aren't offering any suggestions, you're pointing at the past and claiming things were done differently.
To a certain extent they were, because society faced a different set of issues and they had different resources.

But lets stay in the here and now. if you aren't happy locking up criminals, what is your solution.

That being said, how was the peace maintained prior to this unending cycle of incarceration & increasingly inflating system that perpetrates its own growth?

You have to come to it yourself, I can't make you understand. All I can do is offer alternate thoughts that challenge the fore mentioned paradigm.

The deeper the hole you dig, the harder it is to get yourself out; societally speaking,

History has proven: Make laws, make transgressions, & transgressors, of the law.

The origin of resolution is in the understanding & application of wisdom that no one can be sanctified by laws conjured & appropriated by man.

How about this; Fundamentally alter the LEO/Criminal paradigm so as to negate the need for this type of bloated & paradoxically unattainable system of "confinement & rehabilitation".

Just sayin.

Whats your suggestions?
They're doing the ATI stuff heavily here and as far as I am concerned it's the wrong direction to take the criminal justice system.


Incarceration only works on the reformable of mind: let's start there.

Degradation of the peaceful societal fabric can not be solved by further criminalization of criminals: At some point the fault of a serendipitous system of blind Logic will need to be dealt with lest the fabric be torn away completely.

Proper recourse exists outside of our current execution of behavioral modification.

It is excruciatingly obvious, however, dynamically rejected by a large number of constituency.

Certainly an option under our system, is it not? Even if under given circumstances.

Years ago FHP paid very low wages but the troopers made a lot of money on off-duty assignments.  Hard way to earn a living to raise a family.

Expansion of the death penalty is not likely in the current political climate
Try harder

I'm not talking about the "legal system" or the cops.  I am talking about citizens solving their own problems when lethal force is justified.

You should stop thinking in such small circles.

Even that is defined and dictated by the laws.

You're too kind. No, really. I usually shoot for $10 words.

So how many more cops do you think need to be hired to "Fix" everyone?

How many prisons n the d to be built to house everyone, eventually including yourself, to separate them from you or you from them?

How many more politicians to prop themselves up as saviors of those defunct by their own devices?

And while Mr. Inquisitive is causing a paradigm shift in societal norms to realign the criminal justice dynamic HCSD still needs 200 officers......

Where have I complained? I certainly never intended to do so.

I have simply offered observations based on reality. A reality that hinges on insanity: Doing the same things over & over while expecting a different outcome is insanity, or so theorized Einstein.

Complaining doesn't help.

I am simply pointing out the inherent insanity in which society is engaging.
