[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 3805954, member: 4864"] Not uncommon for prior military. Some like to do 25-30 there, or even a late military applicant. Hiring process can take months to a couple of years for some departments by the time you get your commission. You are fully vested in the police pension after 10 years, so essentially you're getting a second retirement. People who have already completed one career but not yet 65 need a job as well, and don't want to work at Lowe's etc. We have officers that are late 50's and 60's and in better shape and more bad ass than some of the younger guys. All about mindset, experience, etc. The pay is not out of line. OCPD is 3rd highest paying dept in the state and recruit pay is $49k. They are hard up so there is a hiring bonus now of $5500. Past few academies have only been about half full. [/QUOTE]
