Vacation in Ft Lauderdale

[Fugitive Hunter]

Hey Gents, did my annual birthday vacation in Ft Lauderdale. I stayed in Lauderdale by the Sea. It was paradise, I love AZ and everything but sometimes I think I made the wrong choice. It was great to see alot of folks from NY and NJ where I am originally from watching a hockey game. You dont get too much of that in AZ.

As for LE,,,it appears Broward County SO is still kicking [email protected]@ and taking names. I did a ride along with them and FLPD before I ended up going out here to the desert and was really impressed with Broward while FLPD was much more touch feely. I ended up going to AZ because I had relatives out here but sometimes I think about my choice living near the ocean vs the desert.

Everyone down there told me its fun to vacation but Broward County has become a third world. On the other side of the 95 I saw that but Lauderdale by the Sea and Ft Lauderdale Beach and Las Olas appeared to be paradise and I wouldnt mind living in either. Maybe when I retire from working in the desert I can make my way back.

so you didn't like the way FLPD policed? i was looking at their department to jump ship and ill take any info. also, by third world do you mean that fort lauderdale is a s*** hole???

Man, NJguy that was back in 2001 when I was first looking to leave NJ that I rode with both agencies and ironically ended up coming to AZ. From what I recall Broward was much more hands on and not afraid to do their job. FLPD was just alot more laid back and more concerned about policies and IA's. From what I recall they were not real proactive or at least the shift I rode with

There's a whole city difference between Ft Lauderdale, and Lauderdale By the Sea. LBTS is BSO, while Fort Lauderdale is FLPD and some BSO...
