Lake Mary Police Department

I would like to know more about this department if someone has information as there website is quite vague other than 39 sworn officers. Pay, call volume, retirement, education payback, etc. If you feel more comfortable PM'ing me that would be great too. Thanks!

Same here. Did you get an email from them yet?

[nonotnow]

Nope, no email. Why did you?

Nope, no email. Why did you?

Nada, only from Casselberry.

Ah ok, in the email I got from Lake Mary when I first submitted an application it states "If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted. However, due to the number of individuals exploring employment opportunities with the City of Lake Mary, we are unable to personally contact each and every applicant."

So I guess they start out with an interview?

Call volume is low, but they do have their own SWAT. Why not go on a ride along and get your answers first hand?

[nonotnow]

Thats what I was thinking, going to try and set one up today.

I have two friends that got hired on last year, neither made it through probation, just an FYI.

From what I know and hear, Lake Mary handles alot of traffic, they are a pretty good department though, Lake Mary is usually a quiet city though when it comes to crime, I remember a few car burglaries, but its mostly traffic.

Thanks guys, if anyone else has anything keep it coming. Ive heard they had 30 people put in applications and they have two spots open.

Any reason why you would think?

[WNBFLA50]

Yeah those are the spots that were vacated by my friends. IMHO the hiring process didn't pick up on "flags" that would have indicated problems completing the FTO program. No disrespect to my friends but rather an indication that for a relatively small and quiet city, they still have a comprehensive and challenging FTO program. I can tell you the Chief and Deputy Chief are great guys and it is a great department. Just make sure you bring your "A" game and Good Luck!

Thanks a ton, yeah I have met the Deputy Chief and he seems like someone I would want to work for.
