Im am a Federal LEO in the process right now for SCPD. I just want to see if its worth transferring Depts.
1.What are the step increases to each year to $106,000.
2.How long is the probationary period and does it start when you enter the academy?
3. What is the shift schedule 8hrs,10 hrs, 12hrs, etc?
4. How is the overall morale of the department?

Any info would be greatly appreciated Thanks.

1. Academy - 42k
Graduation - 53k
1 yr aniv - 64k
2 yr aniv - 75k
3 yr aniv - 86k
4 yr aniv - 97k
5 yr aniv - 108k

That is just base salary, not including overtime, night diff(top rate % of 108k no matter what step your at) holiday pay, uniform allowance, meal reimbursement, etc...

2. Probation is one year upon completion of the Police Academy
3. Midnights are steady 10 hour tours 9x7
Day/Night tours rotate every 5 tours or so 7x3/3x11

And yes it is very much worth transferring departments to come out here.

Thank you, its just with the economy I worry about layoffs. However it sounds like a great department Ill have to make that decision when if I get the offer. Thanks again.
