Hey all,
I'm really gearing this question to anyone presently working in Ga. However always welcome any advice from anyone with any knowledge on this topic.
My husband is the LEO in New Jersey (14 years) We have 3 kids. The youngest is now 4 and has a severe speech disability, as well as other developmental delays/disabilities. With that said, I have done some research to help her. And my sister who lives in North Fulton County, Duluth Ga, has also been trying to help me with resources for my little girl.
One of the things I have noticed, is Altanta has some awesome resources!!!
Therapy clinics, speech schools, support groups etc. Yes NJ has some, but not in my local area- approx. a 2 hour drive for a support group? NOT! The same with a speech school, UNLESS your child is deaf, which she is NOT, although non of my kids listen to me, lol. The therapy clinics we have here are VERY expensive,about $200/hr. Our insurance comp, from his dept DOES NOT COVER speech, Unless your child had a head injury or stroke)
We are trying to change contracts, but that has been a struggle as well.
Anyway, moving onto my questions.
1) Would any police dept, county or otherwise consider my husbands credientials for employment. I can't go into all of it, but after 14 years on the job, almost 10 of them being a detective, hopefully you would get an idea of what is in his "jacket" as he says.
Also he does not have a college degree. He did 1 year at WVU, but partied a little to much, hence the reason ONLY 1 year, and no degree. Aside from the academy, he has been to numerous schools/training classes over the years.
2) Would they take these years into consideration as far as pay. I have seen a few websites from various PD's saying UP to 5 years.
3) Would they take his pension plan into theirs for a latteral move?
We couldn't possibly start from scratch without his pension too.
4) I've seen starting salaries from the low 30's and max out at the high 40's
Is there anything else that we could do to "sweeten" the deal to get something a little more close to what he earns. A particular pd, or county sherrifs, possibly GBI. Right now with his OT, we err rather he earns close to 90 a year.
I would love to try to give my little girl a better chance at being a successful, and productive citizen. And I have so many doubts with that here in Jersey.
Please no sarcasm with my questions.. And Iam certainly not trying to insult anyone either. I apologize for such a long post
Thanks..
