Government. The Fair Labor and Standards act states O/T for all over 40 hours. A joke. We didn't get O/T/ until around 1980 and the County fought it for 6 months. And how about the 1/2 hour unpaid time required each work day for shift overlap. What other job ( I don't call it a profession because you can't take your experience and rank across jurisdictions) requires you to show up 2 & 1/2 hours every week for no pay? Strange to me, the old timers in higher ranks resented us finally winning O/T/. Maloof stated: "Why, we can't pay police and firemen O/T. It would break the county." At the same time, he was making land deals around Stonecrest Mall construction. I always was glad when the new guys got more out of this cheap county than us.<br />If I hadn't invested so much time for my retirement check, I would not have spent 5 minutes there.

It’s an absolute toxic environment with that incompetent Chief & CEO….They are both cancers that have permeated all levels of DKPD! They don’t give af about Officers, period! THEY ONLY CARE ABOUT FATTENING THEIR POCKETS! Officers are leaving and continue to leave the county at record paces (& rightfully so) and it’s only gonna get worse. I applaud those who have left, like myself because we realized that there are greener pastures elsewhere. DKPD is one of the lowest paying and most stressful agencies to work for. Add to that we deal with the worst crime and a budding younger criminal that doesn’t respect, care or have any love for us! Yet, we go out and for the most part, all give this job everything we have only to be under appreciated, over worked, underpaid and over disciplined for stupid sh%t. Meanwhile the CEO & Chief are playing PR with the media & the public with all their lies. At some point when the number of Officers dip below 350 (and it will) it’s gonna be a really bad and unsafe summer because crime will skyrocket to an uncontrollable level with not enough uniforms to respond, and the worst part about what I’m saying is all the purps know it! It’s too bad common sense hasn’t prevailed to fix the glaring problems within DKPD! Fire the Chief! Fire the CEO & bring in people who get it! Pay Officers a decent & livable salary with better retirement benefits like other agencies have done and continue to do & I guarantee you won’t have Officers leaving in droves. And stop with the “we have take home cars” BS, every agency does for the most part! But, keep doing what you’ve been doing since hiring this Chief and well, just know that that misnomer about once a DKPD Officer leaves for another agency, they always come back, those days are long gone! Get out of there and find some sanity with a department that actually cares, pays better, has better benefits because as presently constructed, DKPD is no longer the place to be anymore.

Who ever would chose a 12 hour shift in Dekalb over a 10 is insane. Remember there wont be a 2 hour buffer at the end of the shift where you do nothing, you’re working a full 12 hours from start to finish. And I’ll guarantee by the end of the 1st month all Lt’s and above are going to do it put all that extra man power on special and not really helping handle calls so officers still get burnt out. All you young officers still here GO TO BROOKHAVEN, DUNWOODY, ALPHARETTA or something comparable. At least in those departments working 12 hour shifts you’re going to do half as much and get paid way better. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
