Hello I'm looking into MD agencies (also VA FF county, but sent an application a month ago and nothing - guess I didn't even qualify in the application.
). I just want to post my findings of what Howard county is like. Information through my friends and research.
I'm in the process for Howard county PD, but in my recent research (thanks to this forum), it seems like theres just too much internal politics that I don't even want to continue with the process. Also, my friend who's a former cop (BPD) also says that he heard from a Howey cop that you have to write reports likes madman on every calls you get (neighbor's dogs barking and such). Plus, based on my opinion of howard county, I think the neighborhood might be just too quiet for my taste (maybe Howard county has its busy areas?).
Now on the positive note, I LOVE their equipments, especially their vehicles. Everyone I met were VERY professional. Double plus, I HEARD Howard County cops can carry back up weapons to each cops' discretion (how about .357 magnum as a duty weapon?!
). Also, schedule is awesome, take home cars, badass retirement, and community loves them.
Now I ask any howard county cops out there or anybody for that matters, can you verify any of these informations?
