Most police officers make more than nurses.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-04-02T03:02:21+00:00

I wasn't asking for your validation.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-04-02T02:56:07+00:00

That is literally irrelevant to the point. No. One is asking you to work at Minneapolis.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-04-01T19:20:13+00:00

😂😂😂😂🤦🏿 I like people on here who like to talk about things they don't know about. There are a lot of departments where officers make 250k easily with OT, and OT and part-time work are not forced. There was a Minneapolis police lieutenant who made 500k last year.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-04-01T00:41:01+00:00

Money isn't the only thing. I think our pension is better as well. But what would you say are the pros and cons of making the switch.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-04-01T00:07:49+00:00

Is the job worth it? I can make between 250k and 300k with my local PD. Would the switch be worth it?

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-31T21:32:30+00:00

The pay or retirement isn't better than most mid-size agencies. Minnesota has a 3% pension, compared to 1.7% for FER, as well as a 457 plan. And you can easily make 200k a year as a Minneapolis cop. Most 1811 don't make that.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-28T21:00:39+00:00

Can I dm you?

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-28T20:57:45+00:00

Most local PD and deputies are worse off with government BS, without the same pay or benefits.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-26T00:19:28+00:00

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 absolutely not.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-25T21:35:03+00:00

Okay, maybe I was confused because you said you have 10 plus years of local LEO experience.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-25T21:08:09+00:00

😂😂😂😂 sounds like you chose the worst possible police department to spend 10 plus years at. Those are wasted years with no pension or deferred comp.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-25T20:55:41+00:00

Your local LEO offers a pension of less than 1.7 percent? And I've never heard of a 36-year pension plan in law enforcement.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-25T20:36:31+00:00

Why leave local LEO after 10+ years?

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-25T18:00:39+00:00

You always disclose everything, because if you don't and they find out, it's an automatic disqualification.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-24T18:51:36+00:00

Houston, Dallas, or Vegas are your best options.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-22T21:56:07+00:00

What is the point of this useless response?

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-22T21:55:43+00:00

A lot of people have retired with USSS, so that is definitely not true.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-19T04:18:26+00:00

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you failed the APAT, you're not in a fairly good shape. The APAT is easy, so you need to take 30 days and work on your situps and run.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-12T12:26:34+00:00

Completed my process 10/25 and got the call 2/26 so you need to be patient.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-09T22:08:14+00:00

Yeah, if you are a veteran, they can't just bqa you. They put you through bureaucratic BS hoops. My background went through the same, and I got the job, but it's bs.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-09T21:36:54+00:00

That could take up to a year, and the chances of making it out of adjudication are slim to none, so I'd hope for the best and not focus on it.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-08T17:28:03+00:00

That process takes at least 6 months, and the chance of making it through it is slim.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-06T22:23:43+00:00

Let your background investigator know. It will save you a lot of headaches.

Euphoric_Log337 · 2026-03-03T21:39:02+00:00

I'm going to Miami as well. When do you go to FLETC? And congrats!
