I don't know and I agree.Are there different standards for men and women? The standard by definition should be the standard.
I was told Harford county paid moreFor years they were one of the lower paid agencies in the area. Decent pay if you're out west or way down the Shore, but lower pay than average for central MD.
Negative on the bold line above. Rotation shifts apply across the board up to and including Sergeant in patrol.most county and city agencies will pay more with a signing bonus(upwards of 20k). You might get a better shift with SP but who knows. If im not mistaken youll be working mostly traffic enforcement and accidents, not really responding to domestics and other stuff.
Most agencies work you like a rented mule and are just waiting for you to curse at someone for pulling at a gun at you on body cam just to write you up from what i hear.
PC- lib chiefs used to be rare and apparently are very common now.
are straight shifts a thing of the past? youre just switching days and nights every week?Negative on the bold line above. Rotation shifts apply across the board up to and including Sergeant in patrol.
Edit to add: Some MSP barracks are “full service”, meaning they work with the local county jurisdiction and do indeed respond to the domestics and such. The two PG barracks are strictly highway. St Marys and Calvert are full service. I don’t remember if La Plata is or not.
youre just shifting days and nights
No holidays,
some agencies give no care if you work night and have court at 9am.
try 6pm-6am, most are on 10-12 hour shifts not 8.What , no love for Evening ( 3-11) ?
getting off at 6am after working 12 hours just to not go home and be at court after being up 18+ hours. Then have have to be back at work in less than 8hours..you can keep that moneyOvertime $$ for court
LOL I forget how much we paid Harvard for a sleep/circadian/work shift study, 3 million I think?Years ago, some agencies were looking into a rotation that worked with the body's Circadian Rhythm. I think it went something like days to midnights, to swing shift. I don't remember where it went. In the late seventies, I worked the shift rotation and there were mornings I would fall asleep in court.
I can't imagine too many 50 YOs old going through the physical requirements of a LEA training academy let alone working shift work.
Why would someone hire on as a Trooper just to work a couple years to lateral into a smaller dept?An individual that may have missed the age cutoff for hiring elsewhere, could do this solely for the lateral hire into the agency you were too old to sign on as a cadet with.
Because the Chevy Chase PD pays more for less work.Why would someone hire on as a Trooper just to work a couple years to lateral into a smaller dept?
Not at all. And no one is a fan of working in a neighborhood town doing out of town home checks and minor complaints. Believe me, I've worked in a small town depts. Little town councils are terrible.Because the Chevy Chase PD pays more for less work.
No. Lateral slide into a much larger dept whose cutoff is 39. Think higher level than state. Lateral hire is what they call it here, but it’s actually a step up for troopers………pay, retirement and insurance. It’s a path to get in if one just misses the 39 y.o. cutoffWhy would someone hire on as a Trooper just to work a couple years to lateral into a smaller dept?
I'm still confused. People leave small departments to go to the state. Retiring troopers leave the state to go to small departments.No. Lateral slide into a much larger dept whose cutoff is 39.

Laplata is is a traffic barracks. troopers now are basically revenue generators.Negative on the bold line above. Rotation shifts apply across the board up to and including Sergeant in patrol.

And traffic law enforcers. Are they just supposed to sit on their ass and look at cars? Tell us, what would you like the MSP do that your own county agency doesn't provide?Laplata is is a traffic barracks. troopers now are basically revenue generators.
