Same here. We handcuff lots of folks every day without actually arresting them and transporting them to the station. No paperwork necessary. The only thing required at that point is a business card and an explanation to the person why they were detained....

We get thousands also, from all over the country. The number of applicants really hasn't gone down, however, the quality of the candidates has. That's the biggest difference.

Apparently it all depends on your perspective. I've been on the job here for a long time and I wouldn't have changed it. However, when I retire in a few years I'll be leaving the state like most of us. But for the job, it's been great. This is just my perspective though.

We have 10,000 sworn, which means we lose about 350 people per year for various reasons, mostly retirements. We try to keep our number at 10,000 so we are always putting academy classes of between 50-60 through every month.

We also have an expedited process. You can take all but one test...
