Book to read if you want to be a cop Read this BEFORE you apply

admin — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 19:59:45 +0000

OK, so you think you want to be a police officer.
First no one source can answer every question, and I readily admit I do not have all the answers, far from it. But I will talk about general issues that apply to most departments, and cover State of Florida issues in detail. Have you really thought this through? Have you thought about what it really means to be a police officer anywhere?

Broward BSO Police Motorcycle Rodeo

admin — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 02:52:21 +0000

EVENT TIME/DATE: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. Saturday, April 10, 2010

LOCATION: Pompano Citi Centre, 1955 N. Federal Hwy., Pompano Beach (SW corner of Federal Hwy. and Copans Rd.)

Over 100 police motorcycles from all over the eastern United States and beyond will converge on Pompano Beach to compete in the 21st Annual South East Police Motorcycle Training Seminar and Safety Trials. It is the largest police motorcycle safety skills event held in the Southeast. The rodeo, as it is called, will be held from 8 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 10, 2010 at Pompano Citi Center. The Broward Sheriff’s Office, with over 60 motorcycle deputies, has proudly been affiliated with this event since its inception.

The event has two main benefits. For motor officers from around the country, they train throughout the week and enhance their personal safety skills while at the same time raising funds for the families of slain law enforcement officers through Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) South Florida Chapter and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), both worthwhile charities the law enforcement community supports.

The training courses are designed to enhance the daily riding skills of the motorcycle officer. They are intricate and very demanding and are identical to those used in the police motorcycle enforcement rider school. Three days of training (Wednesday – Friday) precede Saturday’s rodeo (safety trials and Fun Run) which actually simulates challenges motorcycle officers encounter daily. Motor officers must participate in the safety trials to qualify for the Fun Run.

Admission for the event is free and is sure to be an exciting day for the whole family. A new 2010 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 with trailer will be raffled off at the end of the event. Tickets for the raffle are one dollar each and are available at the event. Proceeds will go to both charities, C.O.P.S. and MDA. Last year’s rodeo raised over $50,000 for these charities.

City of Pompano Beach BSO contract

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:24:07 +0000

As many of you may or may not know, the City of Pompano Beach is close to ending it’s police services contract with the Broward Sheriff’s Office. This decision is based on proposals and projected budgets which appear to have serious flaws and fail to take many intangibles into consideration. At risk are the livelihoods of nearly 300 BSO employees and their families, both sworn law enforcement and civilian personnel. The city manager has added insult to injury by stating that these laid off BSO employees would not be absorbed into a new Pompano Beach Police Department. Instead, they would only be ‘welcomed to apply.’ To make matters worse, few of the city’s residents and business owners are even aware this is happening.

If you live in Pompano Beach or know anyone who lives or works in the city, please forward this information to them. They need to be aware that their law enforcement services are going to take a drastic hit. We also need as much public support for BSO by attending the Pompano Beach city commission meeting on Tuesday, February 9 at 7 pm. at 100 W. Atlantic Blvd. If you cannot attend, please send the city mayor and commissioners an e-mail expressing your support for BSO. Their e-mail addresses can be found on the city website at http://www.facebook.com/l/05b8f;www.mypompanobeach.org.
