I need some advice from leaving my Office now and moving out of state to a new agency.
Right now I am the youngest officer in the department, but the most senior officer. I'm a FTO, SRT member, and Mounted Patrol Member. I do pretty much everything for all types of investigations. It's a small department; 23 road + jail.
The other department I'll only be doing traffic for a while, plus I'll need to go through another POST academy then through their own academy.
The only reason that I'm looking elsewhere is because of pay and my financial needs. The only raise that I'll get is if the county commisioners decide to give everyone a raise. We don't get paid for extra duties, as most SO's don't. So pretty much I'm topped out for a while, at least until the next election.
We're looking to sell our house regardless. (By the way, if anyone's looking to buy a house in CO, PM me.)
Should I stay and wait or take my chances again at the bottom. I don't know what to do. Help me out guys.
Thanks.
