What is a good Law Enforcement agency to work for in Southern California?

What do you think is the best Law Enforcement agency to work for in southern California? Best pay, work environment, benefits, hour schedule, retirement, co workers working with you, work ethic people etc.

Mainly in San Diego County or Orange County preferably

California? Are you kidding? Are you familiar with how LAPD officer Toni McBride's shooting is going?

I am. All things considered, it went pretty well.

She was determined to be out of policy.

That’s not very well...

Yeah. It smells to me like they're going after her because of the 1.5 million dollar lawsuit they lost to her dad, as well as her dad's leadership role in their police union...

The Use of Force Review Board and the Chief of Police found all six rounds in policy. The civilian Police Commission found the first four rounds in policy and the last two out of policy. That's not unusual for our department since they are not police officers and don't know what it's like to be out on the street under stress situations.

The Police Commission is known to do that kind of thing in several other OIS incidents, not just hers. That doesn't mean anything bad will come out of it nor does it mean they are "going after her."

I had cases with the San Bernardino Sheriff's Office back in 2011-2012. At the time, they had a lot of support from the DA and the community. Relative to LA County anyway. Not sure how that's changed in the last couple years though. I'd avoid any of the more urban cities/counties.

The one that will hire you.

The one that will hire you.

That used to be the conventional wisdom.

Now, I’m pretty sure you’re better off collecting today’s enhanced unemployment benefits than working for a department that will throw you under the bus.

I would flip hamburgers before working for an agency that wouldn't back me.

I was actively looking for a job....................ANY job 5 yrs before I retired. I was this close to leaving but chose to hold out until I could collect a pension ..

THAT won't happen again I left my first post retirement job after 10 days when I decided the place sucked to much
