How's this one to get a conversation going?

What size/type/locality is the agency you work for?

Mine is a small (25 sworn,9 civilian) Sheriff's Office in a rural county.

Federal. Lots of us. Everywhere. Some are meaner than others. I work with the meanest. :wink:

 

[TimB92020]

I work for a large Sheriff Dept. in southern California.

I am a Special Agent in a federal agency, but I DO know who both of my parents are.:lol: I am currently assigned to El Paso, TX.

The last I heard, we were the 2nd largest armed federal agency, if you count our uniformed personnel.

I work for a small municipal department in Southern California. Just over 100 sworn.

 

[Ken Neal]

Me, I'm with a little know State of Texas agency, total manpower of sworn personell is around 150.

 

[joepicar]

I work for a small 11 man police department in central Massachusetts.

 

[Marty Hayes]

I AM the police department in our small town in Western Washington.

Up to a week ago, we had 6 reserves too, but in a stroke of genius, the council decided that having reserves who donated thier time to help patrol the town was costing too much gas money, so they voted to disband the reserve program.

BTW, I also submitted my resignation over the deal, will be gone out of there at the end of the month. I am really glad I have a business that allows me the luxury to do tell them to take thier job and shovel it, (as in the immortal words of Constable Huxley).

I patrol a County in So. central Mo. I have 16 deputies with me . A year ago we only had 7 but we got a sales tax passed allowing us to do some hiring . Our county is the thrid largest in Mo. 1160 sq.mi. most of which is gravel rds. We have a 55 bed facitlity , again two years ago we housed 26 tops . We now have 7 jail staff , two secs., 5 disp., two civil server , two investigaters and one drug agent , 1 dare officer soon to be 2 . We are overrun with METH dealers because of our rural area and limited manpower . I love working in a woodsy outdoor environment being a born and bred hillbilly who sought out education then chose Law Enforcement as a career . I have ten years service here beginning at age 22 . I also build holsters for a subcontracter who builds for WILSON COMBAT . If I can get a full time job hunting or shooting though then I will have my dream job .
