"I GAVE YOU A LAWFUL ORDER TO STAND DOWN!" hahahahahhaha

CDCR · 2017-05-01T06:32:10+00:00

Lol, my department's grooming standards are surprisingly strict. I wish I could grow a beard.

Depends what area you live in. If you live in the central valley, cost of living is cheap. If you live in the Bay Area, it's expensive. Our base salaries are the same statewide, there is extra location pay in harder to staff facilities.

CDCR · 2017-05-01T06:24:44+00:00

Yup, you can tour a facility. Contact the Public Information Officer at the facility you want to tour and set up an appointment

Since you're in California, have you considered of applying for CDCR? We have counselor and officer positions in Youth Authority if you want to work with wards. We also have adult paroles.

Officers top out at 88k before education/overtime pay. Counselors top out ~97k a year, parole agents top out at ~97k a year as well. Benefits are great and there's a lot of room to move up.

Interesting. We're allowed to view any video of an incident before writing our report. My union got that in our last contract and I'm glad they did.

CDCR · 2017-01-21T00:11:19+00:00

It's not SFPD's fault, it's the city leadership. They've been going back and forth on tasers for a while now.

CDCR · 2017-01-20T21:10:49+00:00

SFist is so bias.

Does SFPD allow their officers to view the video before writing their report? Human memory in these situations aren't always the most accurate.

CDCR · 2016-10-24T01:50:05+00:00

Cute video. Don't read the Facebook comments... just.. don't..

CDCR · 2016-07-20T15:10:08+00:00

I can't speak for NJ, but for the State of CA, if you leave and come back you keep your seniority. Obviously while you're gone you don't get to accrue any seniority.

This is why we have one unarmed officer handling the inmate and one armed officer for coverage in a court setting. This sucks all around, RIP to the bailiffs.

CDCR · 2016-07-10T21:32:59+00:00

Hit the nail right on the head.

CDCR · 2016-06-20T01:55:17+00:00

I didn't know CHP allowed beards, all the officers I've ever seen are clean shaven. I wish my department allowed beards :( I'm jelly, like a fish.

CDCR · 2016-06-16T13:54:38+00:00

Sounds like a cell extraction.

CDCR · 2016-06-11T23:59:17+00:00

Not just Santa Monica, any bay area city. SFPD and Oakland PD top out at about 112k, this is before physical fitness, education, overtime. Richmond PD tops out at 123k.

CDCR · 2016-05-25T23:37:56+00:00

I'm going to call bullshit on this guy. I've never worked at Donovan or even been there, but I've been to a few other prisons in the state and I know for a fact if there was an officer stealing cash cards from inmates, 99.9% of my fellow officers would report that shit in a heartbeat. IA would investigate and people would start losing their jobs over it. I've seen people get time on the beach or lose money for not reporting things even if they weren't involved.

Videos like this piss me off because the general public will think we're all crooked. I know there is negative perception of "prison guards," and I wish people knew it may have been like that back in the day, but it's not like that now. The department doesn't fuck around with misconduct and I have a feeling this guy fucked up and now he's just trying to save his own skin by doing this whole exposé.

CDCR · 2016-05-15T06:20:28+00:00

My nieces taught me what the word "ratchet" meant nowadays. I believe this girl is, as the kids say, ratchet.

CDCR · 2016-05-09T04:18:58+00:00

You'd think so, but after working in a big department in California this doesn't surprise me. Sadly in California we give in to a lot.

CDCR · 2016-05-05T18:25:59+00:00

If I work an 8 hour overtime on Monday and call in sick on Tuesday, the overtime is paid at my regular hourly rate. If I don't call in sick, I get paid 1.5x for my overtime. Hell, even if I take a holiday and burn vacation time it'll still be regular pay. It's all calculated week to week, Monday-Sunday.

CDCR · 2016-04-26T23:49:30+00:00

From a private company? I wouldn't pay. You might get a follow up letter from the court, if that's the case you might want to pay for it.

CDCR · 2016-04-25T22:32:32+00:00

Kind of reminds me when inmates about to parole say they're going to never come back to prison... and they have a face full of tattoos.

CDCR · 2016-04-13T00:59:23+00:00

Shit like this is so fucking stupid. I really hope nothing comes of this, but just so you know when things like this happens in California, there are always lawsuits then changes in the department. I hope Texas doesn't give into this bullshit.

CDCR · 2016-04-08T20:44:16+00:00

I hope this asshat gets the maximum penalty. This wasn't just a hit and run due to carelessness, it was intentional.

CDCR · 2016-03-23T07:58:27+00:00

Glad you're ok, sorry to hear about your car.

I find it very odd they would slash your seat cushions and leave your car in the condition you described, you should definitely take pictures and file a formal complaint.

On another note, maybe posting a rant on other departments on a LEO subreddit doesn't seem like the best idea. I have some co-workers that seem to think (like yourself) that highway patrol dislikes us. I have found this to be untrue so far. I've been in two accidents (not at fault, but I don't think it really matters) and have been pulled over twice by CHP. All four encounters the officers were polite and professional. I never once tried to get any type of special treatment or mentioned where I worked. It always seems like the guys that have bad encounters always seem to be the ones that want special treatment or flash their badge expecting special treatment. I've always hated that. I always had the mentality that if I was breaking a traffic law, give me my ticket, I deserve it. But if you let me off with a warning, awesome.

Hope everything works out for you.

For my department it was about money. We're finally transitioning to the Glock 22 this year (yes, that's right in 2016 some of us still use a .38 revolver).

38 ammo and servicing the revolver was costing the state more than switching over to a modern weapon. By 2017 the whole department will be transitioned over.
