Just an observation, but checked out their site and noticed that their recruitment video was comprised primarily with those having a military background.
I've heard theyre having alot of budget problems right now, like everybody else I guess. I'm susprised they're running an academy it seems like they've been continually postponing them.
There were no cops hired for two years, but as others have mentioned there is an academy going on right now. They plan on having another one beginning in November, but I'm not sure if it will be the abbreviated lateral academy or the full-length (26 weeks!) recruit academy.
Others have mentioned budget problems. Yep, 10 STRAIGHT YEARS OF BUDGET CUTS!!!! I think the new city council will be more realistic than previous ones.
Morale pretty much sucks right now, but I haven't bought in to all the doom and gloom. PM for details.
If the opinion of a non-LEO matters, every CSPD officer I've dealt with has been professional, courteous, and helpful. I've dealt with them both as a "customer" on the side of the road, and as someone needing their help. I was disappointed with one encounter involving my son a few years back, but IMHO it was the system that didn't work, not the cops themselves.
From the outside looking in, they seem like a good department. Just my unimportant two-cents-worth.
If I tell you what I know, I'd have to kill you. Fortunately, I don't know much.
