Length of Hiring Process for South FL agencies

[Lancelot83]

Hi Everyone,
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read and answer my post. I am currently in the hiring process with Miami Dade County which I've been told takes about a year. I am finally going to take the advice of several officers I've talked to and apply to some other agencies to better my odds. I was wondering if anyone knew how long the hiring process was for other South FL agencies and any positive or negative comments about them, especially City of Miami. Any related info is appreciated. Thanks again.

Many agencies in South Florida are experiencing hiring freezes due to the property tax changes. Many cities are unsure how the cut backs will affect their services.
