I flew from Connecticut to Orlando this past week to take the CJBAT/PAT test. While we were there, Capt. Crotta explained that we would not find out our duty station until week 20 of the academy. I recieved an email from the Tallahasee Chief Recruiter stating that we would be called BEFORE the academy and told what our duty station would be. (Even if we are not certified). Just wondering which it is: Are we told before or after the academy starts.

Look, I'm sure you have your reasons to come to FHP, but let me tell you, the future does not look good for this agency. We are losing people as soon as they hit their 2 years on. Heck, some troopers are leaving as soon as they get done with FTO. This agency is being run into the ground by the administration, and I don't think they care much. It's a shame!!
Good luck to you and if you need anything else answered, let me know.

They keep changing it back and forth. As far as I know now they tell you at week 20 in the academy. It would help with recruiting if they adjusted this though in my opinion. People can't sell their homes right now and who really wants to pick up and move for 33k?

I'll keep you posted. I'm sure if I get in I'll have a few questions!
It is Attitude, not circumstance, that makes Success possible even in the most unlikely conditions.

I remember the 115th BRC was able to chose their assignment before they went to the Academy. When that happened, based on the roster from that class (available on FHP web site), everyone went back home and no one went to the areas in need of Troopers.
When I went to the May PAT in Miami Capt. Crotta said Miami, Orlando, and Tampa were in need for Troopers the most. So if you want Lakeland, you could go for Orlando or Tampa then put in a transfer for Polk if there are openings....just an idea.
Tough decision!It is Attitude, not circumstance, that makes Success possible even in the most unlikely conditions.

The cost of living is high in South Florida. Not as bad up in North Florida. The startingpay FHP offers is below other agencies in South Florida. It's on par with other agencies in North Florida from what I have read on this board.
