Gastonia enjoys a good reputation in the area. They used to lag behind in pay, but I have heard that problem is behind them now. I think they actually have a structured pay plan, based on years of service, so you can look and have a good idea what you will be earning in 1 , 3, or 5 years for example. Gaston County is a decent place to live, and I think Gastonia PD officers can actually live in any county that adjoins Gaston County, but that is unconfirmed. Provided that pay issue is resolved, I think Gastonia is a good choice.

I work around that agency and know many of their officers. The good points are the improved salary plan, good equipment and a great opportunity to gain experience in a wide range of LE activities. Its a busy place and I think they are still running a little short handed. As recently as a few months ago I know they were running mandatory overtime to fill patrol shifts to minimum standards. Not sure how many vacancies they have now but I would bet the haven't filled them all. With all the good things, people are still leaving there so I think there are some internal problems. I'm not saying don't apply there I'm just suggesting maybe do some ride alongs and talk to the people there.
