I was wondering if those of you from Texas could give me some recommendations. I have applied to the Austin PD and am currently in the process of applying to the Plano PD. I hear that they are both excellent PD's and was wondering if you could give me the names of other cities that would be good to apply for. I can deal with the heat, not a fan of the humidity though. Thanks.

Use the search function, this question gets asked like once a week. Also, there is no perfect department that "rocks em all". Every department has its pro's and con's, find out what is important to you in a department and start there. Good luck with your testing.

From the posts I've read here, Austin and Plano are very good paying departments but it's hard to "be" a cop there. Very regulated. If you want to be a cop and do cop stuff check out Garland, Irving and Mesquite. I'm not dogging Austin and Plano since I have no personal experience that's just what I read here. I do know that Garland rocks and that can also be verified by most on this site.

For Austin area departments, he told me Round Rock PD, San Marcos PD, and Williamson County SO are very pro active departments. The pay at WCSO is poor....
