We finally got a new chief. She starts sometime near the end of the month. She has 25 years in and was a Lt for one of the SO that my town is in. I have never heard anybody say anything negative about her, infact EVERYBODY at her former agency speaks very highly of her, including the brass. I have put in for another department and am almost certain that I will be offered the position. My current agency has a "negative" image with the surrounding communities. Most of the officers have been fired or were forced to resign from their former agencies, and most have been employeed by atleast 5 departments. My town is labled as the countys' "arm pit" and 17% of the population live below poverty. The department I have applied with is a "higher" class of people and typically dont have that much going on, but its bigger, and growing. I have been told by my former chief and my sisters husband that I should get out of the dept as soon as possible and that not many agencies in my area hire officers from my dept. Do I leave now with the opportunity to go to another dept, or do I stay and see if the new chief will straighten things out and make it a better agency.

It is obviously up to you. If you like the community and the officers that you work with know, I say stick it out and see if the new Chief can make things better. If not, you have nothing to lose by leaving. On the other hand, what if you get to the new department and hate everyone you work with and hate your new demographic?
