The dept doesnt care about expierence...It is cheaper to have new officers and especially now with $525 a month insurance, no take home for 3 years etc... Cheaper is better for metro gov! Another reason not to hire laterals so they dont have to pay for expierence.

I see part of the problem is how we promote up the ranks. It is time for a change. When we have people making rank that have done NOTHING in their career we have a problem. Once you make Sgt you need to have some experience in that rank before going to LT. We are putting people in charge of areas or other people when they have NEVER done the job they are over seeing. How can you have respect or follow a LT who never was a patrol Sgt and is not in charge of a platoon? We do not promote on experience but on how well you can memorize and spit out facts that show NOTHING except you had time to study.
