Orlando Police/Orange County SO

[BayCityBrawler]

Which seems to be the better agency in Orange County. I know Orlando pays more but besides that what are the ups and downs of each.

If you are a current LEO, is there one that is easier than the other to get on with?

I know there is a milage requirement for Orlando but is there any residency requirement for OCSO?

Equipment and morale at each?

Any current LEO's opinions of either or both would be greatly appreciated!

Both are great agencies. Unfortunately I just got a Not Selected from OPD. Amazing!!! 10 years LE experience and I can't get hired by them. Articles everywhere about big agencies hurting for LEO's and I get turned down.

OPD is very professional. Benefits are excellent and opportunities are great as well. I have nothing negative to say about the agency, just disappointed I wasn't selected. Sorry, I don't know too much about OCSO.

From what I understand both are very selective with their applicants, as they have no shortage of persons applying.

Good Luck
