In a recent article from a Long Island online news source reported that Suffolk County police officers with six years on the job will make $108,608 annually – the first time a contract puts their pay into six figures – I would think that this is one of the best paying police job in the country.

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.
