There's a Town in Florida who recently voted to swallow a huge tax increase in order to provide their own Police Force. The Town is called Miami Gardens. Although the City of Salisbury is already screwing most of the taxpayers, I doubt these local Officers are going to see anything like this around here any time soon.
What if I were to tell you, IF you were to join this Police Force, (even without experience) they'll pay you a starting salary of $45,100.00?
WAIT, there's more! They'll also pay you a sign on bonus of $12,000.00!
NOPE, I'm not at all done.
How about a $7,000.00 moving allowance?
WAIT, I'm not through!
They'll even give you $5,000.00 for a down payment for a home if you choose to live within the City/Town!
I'm NOT done! They'll give you a $2,000.00 a year pay increase each year.
Wait a minute, I see they'll even pay you one weeks paid vacation the first year you're there!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better........ They're willing to pay 100% for your college education. When you graduate they'll pay you an additional 8% increase for an associates degree and a 16% increase for a bachelors degree!!!!!
You'll be included in the Florida Retirement System and wait a minute, they're even throwing in a TAKE HOME CAR!
Oh No, could there be MORE? How about this. They'll pay you ANY leave you have left from your previous job and they'll work you four 10 hour days and you're off the next three days.
NOW, If you're a Police Officer 2 with some experience your salary would start at $48,000.00 a year! Any Sergeant will start at $52,000.00 a year! If you have experience they'll pay you a starting salary of $63,000.00 a year!!!
A Captain with 6 years experience will start at $94,000.00 a year!
If you don't believe me, Barrie Tilghman & Chief Webster, click here (miamigardenspolice.org) and it will take you directly to their Website and tell you everything I just quoted.
Follow me one more time around the City of Salisbury again Chief, (like you did yesterday, honking your horn, waving and laughing at me) and I'll post even more opportunities for your people to look into. I don't have to take any more of your abuse and I think you'll come to learn that if I'm treated and respected properly, I'm a pretty decent guy. If you abuse me in any way I'll find ways legally to make your live a living hell. LEAVE ME ALONE!
As for Barrie Tilghman, Gary Comegys, Mike Dunn & Lynn Cathcart, SHAME ON YOU! Look at all the money you threw away on rip rap along the river, (that didn't need it) instead of taking care of the Police! It's time for some changes in Salisbury Folks and the Police Officers not only deserve FAR better pay, they also deserve to apply for jobs like this because it's a far better future than what they're dealing with right now. Their own Boss doesn't even ask for the proper salaries for his own Staff because the Mayor already told him they weren't getting it, period.
I cannot state this as a fact but I have been told that when someone asked Lynn Cathcart why the Police Officers weren't getting better pay she replied, "You can't get something you don't ask for." They then asked, are you telling me Chief Webster never asked for the proper pay increase? She supposedly replied, "You can't get something you don't ask for."
UPDATE, There are 150 positions available right away.
