Is there any talk about raising DPS pay up to par with the rest of the valley?is the current pay scale correct? i dont know how they will compete with the new pay raise phoenix got. in my opinion DPS should start at about $46k and top out at $66k if they want to be the premier LE agency in the state. also if im not mistaken, DPS officers pay into Social Security while Phoenix PD officers do not? the social security is a waste of 6.5% of your salary, resulting in less take home pay with no benefit...

I am not sure that I like going from noise complaint, to DV, to noise complaint...etc ( I realize it's more than that but on all the rides I go on, 160+ hours, it seems they get a lot of those!)

Are you serious? We have guys who can sniff out a dope load or stolen vehicles with the best of them. Granted, we do traffic stops galore, but you have to make traffic stops to get to the good stuff. If you are interested in criminal interdiction and investigation, DPS is the place to be. You are what you make of this job. Sure, we have to do our share of collisions and our guys in the city may not get the big 1000 lb. loads the remote duty guys do but they get plenty of action too. Do your time on the road and go into being a undercover guy or a vehicle theft interdiction guy or just about anything else you want. When you are with DPS you can go as far as you want too.

yep, and warrant arrests, and excecute high risk search warrants, and counter-terrorism, and the State Gang Task Force, and VCU, and VTI and HIDTA, Governor's Security, a Statewide SWAT team and... yep, we're all traffic over here!"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - Orwell

The Commander said it himself, "You were at the wrong place at the wrong time". It's good to have it back though, the old gal still has kick!"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." - Orwell

My post was of no dis-respect. Yes DPS does have a good investigation team and speacial task force.....but its the patrol part that is all traffic. Once you do your few years there, great. I just know it was frustrating getting a call from a DPS officer on scene of I-10 saying he has a drive by shooting or mobile dv and to call local pd.
But again, don't get me wrong, DPS has some great guys and working K9, were able to help me get some good finds.
