Mrs ANC and I are out in July . . . game over or game on depending on your perspective. Congratulations.
Good for both of you guys.
ShyFlyer wrote:Another Deputy suddenly resigned. I don't know the circumstances behind it, but it's likely due to the increasing availability of overtime. It wasn't too long ago that the number of people wanting overtime greatly outweighed the number of available spots. Now, its the opposite. So much so that at times dayshift operates with just a few more sworn members than graveyard. And some of those spots are being filled by people from graveyard.
Everyone feels the pressure and cracks are forming. As a Training Officer, I'm shouldering the workload of four trainers. I have back to back trainees until the first week in July. Because of the backlog, some of those trainees will be "late" hitting the line by about a month.
I won't have a day off until the first week in June.

It happened again. Another crack in the line. There will be more, including amongst those that, right now, aren't even thinking about leaving.
These people aren't just leaving the agency, they're leaving the profession. They are being replaced by fresh academy graduates, many of whom are of the "avoid confrontation at all costs" mentality.
I hate to be pessimistic. I hate that sounding overly dramatic. That said, I sense a very bad storm on the horizon. I have no where to go.

Through AAAE or something else? I'm a member of AAAE and I'm currently working through the CM materials. I wouldn't really call it "training" as it's just a lot of reading to get a piece of paper.Lucas wrote:Not sure if feasible for you.
Things get very feasible at six figures. Hell, they get feasible after about 70K.
Lucas wrote:Yes, it was AAAE, which was good enough for him to snag the job.

I often feel like no one over at HQ wants to make a $*@(^& decision.
