I feel for you guys. I'm not a LEO, but know quite a few. We have had some layoffs here, and hiring freezes. A friend is very high on Seattle's list, but he won't see academy till spring if he's lucky.
Any other L.E.O.s slated for layoff?

My department did "Reduction in pay" to a bunch of supervisors. Anyone that was a MPO to P1 was ok. But, they have recently frozen all merit increases for the time being. I got in, and I'm not slated to get another raise for 2 years anyways so I lucked out.
Keep your head up and be positive. I went from the Feds to the local department, and I was freaking out recently because of that (and I have 5 years on). The Feds are a great opportunity, and FLETC is fun. You might want to check that site again.
Good Luck..keep us posted

We have 7 citys with police "forces" in our county. Only 3 of them have anyone out at night and 2 of those only have 1 or 2 guys out at night.
They just cut sgt. and lt. pay raises for this year and cut upper brass salaries by 10% bringing them just above the six figure mark. Hope those guys can still make it.:whine: What's funny is that our administration is fully staffed, while the grunts are suffering. Last midnight I worked at least 25% of roll call was either stripes or bars, pretty soon there's not going to be any indians around, just a bunch of chiefs trying to tell each other what to do. Should be amusing.

Our department (San Jose Police Department) had a big cut on the upcoming academy class. Originally it was slated to be 65 new hires, then got cut to 40-45. After selecting the class, with a month before the academy was to begin and the budget finally materialized, it was cut further down to 27. Luckily I got in and will be starting up in 9 days!
I've applied with the CHP and they are hiring on the continuous basis. Looks like that department is doing fine so long as there are speed racers...
