On Friday, I'll start my last 4 days as a sworn officer. I'm going to be moving back to Pennsylvania mainly to be closer to family, but lots of job related reasons as well...poor leadership, crumbling pension that I will likely never receive full benefits from, health insurance that used to be much better, tired of nights and weekends and holidays, feel like my family lives one life and I'm living another due to my schedule, etc.
It's been an interesting 9 years and I've gained a lot of experience I'll be looking to spin into another job. I have an interview in mid March with a real choice civilian PD admin job for me...we'll see how it goes. I'm one of the two finalists and they are actually paying to fly me in for the interview, so I assume I have more than just a token chance. My wife did already get a job, so we've got something to go to either way. I will certainly still be around, but my days as an officer are in the single digits.
Damn, sorry to hear of your troubles with your agency. Some agencies are asking way too much from its officers. Sounds like the future is looking bright for you and your family, though. Best of luck for you and your family there in the Keystone State.
Man I can relate..I am 45 working with 22 year olds on the night shift, who would rather be out drinking at the clubs....me I just want to go to bed! This job wears me out!
I wish you the best in your new endeavor and move. I understand what you are talking about. I'm semi retired. Working at a Campus Police Dept. Working 2nd shift four days a week. I really like not having to rotate shifts.
Do you get a pension with only 9 years on the job? my state requires 10 years to be vested in the pension system. If you do then congrats to you and good luck in your future .....if not invest that money you paid in wisely....
