Has anyone been approached by Compton PD?

[RLRay]

I know that last year it was rumored that Compton was offering a signing bonus to anyone joining CPD. I was just curious if anyone has heard anything lately? The mayor is still pushing but the citizens are still against it.

I just checked out the city's HR webpage. They have posted job specs for Police Chief, Captain, Lieutenant, and Sergeant. They do not appear to in active recruitment for any of those positions. The pay isn't half bad for what they put up, but I've yet to see anything on benefits.

I'd consider putting in for it, depending on the pay..and patrol rifle policy................

If you did, Blizz, you and I would be working the same station within a year....welcome to future LASD....lol

Requirements for Sgt are low, 4yrs full time LEO and a basic POST that's it.

As soon as Compton pays the county the 2+ million they owe, I'm sure they will be hiring bodies any day...And re-purchase the cars that were reposesed...Aint gonna happen anytime soon...

Apart from the working environment, Compton PD prospects should consider the likely political environment within the department and city.

Chief Blizz? I don't know about that.

You know who would make a great chief? Blizzination, that's who. Whatever happened to him?

Just to update everyone - in tonight's city council meeting the mayor admitted defeat and conceded that CPD would not be returning in the near future. The city has a deficit of more than $33 million dollars and the money just isn't there. Also, it was learned that the consultant hired to present figures to the city lied to the mayor and city manager while giving factual information to a council member. This consultant was paid $900,000. That's easy money if you ask me.
