Philadelphia Sheriff Takeover

[WSU13]

Word amongst the law enforcement community in Philadelphia is that the Philadelphia Sheriffs Office has taken over daily operations of the First Judicial District of PA Warrant Unit.

They took it back****

Like two months ago

Does that mean they aren't hiring? I just sent in my application. The courts website has openings for Warrant Investigator Trainee

Are you asking? Yes, they did. I figured with a username of WSU you would have been in the unit? It'll be interesting. The unit started decades ago because the sheriff's office screwed it up then.

Sheriff's Office is civil service. They've been hiring dozens of act 120s over recruits to build up some patrol-type units.

They'll probably hire for recruits some time...keep an eye on city's website

ERMedic I'm glad you're so well-informed...

They "screwed it up" by not have enough personnel for anything, so had to give it up when the old (screwed up) Sheriff had a particular agenda.

Not when I was a deputy nor now as P/O (again) would I ever speak ill of your department. Thank you

It wasn't a personel issue bud. It was the statistics. They had so many active warrants and they simply weren't keeping up with the numbers at the time and judges and court admin got ****ed. I don't understand why you get so upset on this forum. Take it easy dude, thank you.

I wouldn't call it speaking ill of the sheriff's. The Philadelphia Sheriff's Office is a very professional LE agency, as is the PA FJD Warrant Unit. I just happen to have ALOT of first hand knowledge of their agency. I could've also said the warrant unit was stupid for having their investigators wearing suits and ties with .38 snubs decades ago? Stop taking things personally. We're all on the same team.

And I think I've met you before, wear glasses?

Thats a good thing because it is my understanding that the FJDWU operated without and legal or statatory power of arrest. Never seemed right to me. The Sheriff should have had control of this all along.

Any updated info on this topic?

Same, more or less.

Simple answer. Things weren't "by the book" so they disbanded the warrenty unit and sheriff's took over. Everyone without an act120 was given option to go through proper steps or resign. Philly sheriff's now has their own warrant unit.

Is this a good agency to work for. Would be moving from Pittsburgh area. But like a few others, refuse to be stuck doing court security all day.
