Best place to work - Recensione dipendente - Shift Supervisor presso Springfield Police Department - Missouri

#1 is by far the quality of people you will work with. Their hiring standards are high. #2 Awesome benefits...retirement, health insurance and incredible FOP Lodge. #3 The City of Springfield (people). People really have the officer's back in town and plenty of cool things to do in town. #4 Excellent equipment and tons of opportunity for specialized assignments in as short as 3 to 4 years of patrol experience. #5 Their police academy... phenomenal and you get paid to attend!

- Police work can be difficult in general and dangerous. But that goes back to hiring the best people and getting the best training. - There is a general feeling in law enforcement currently that there is an anti police atmosphere by a lot of people in society... This really sucks because 99.9% of all the officers out there are doing the right things for the right reason. It can be disheartening unless you focus on the job of keeping people safe and making good decisions one call at a time.

Fast pace of work. You gain good experience in the field is a relatively short period of time. A lot of good people work in the officer positions. Training is pretty decent.

Poor leadership. Policies restrict officers from doing their jobs, no appetite for change, not lateral friendly.
