Good video ! When I started working as a dispatcher in 1989, there was four deputies & one supervisor for an eight hour shift. Now, unless it changed when they combined the city/county dispatching, there were still four deputies & one supervisor for an eight hour shift. Calls for service are WAY up, but staffing is still sadly lacking. How the department does what they do with the limited resources is testimony to the men & women of the GCSD
@TheGrizzledOne Thanks again. I agree that it can easily be missed despite several edits to this production. I appreciate your comments. Good day to you.
I think this is a great video. I have been interested in the GCSO reserve, but understand that you need to be POST certified first. Then you also go through another training program after that. I understand that GCSO has there own POST training also. I think there is a lot of interest in the community to be law enforcement. Just a little hard to attain, other agencies that I have looked into only require a HS diploma, and then you go to their training facility for 6 to 8 weeks.
@TheGrizzledOne Thank you very much for the positive comments on the video. There was a very thorough and comprehensive study conducted that compared seven agencies in the region. I would like to clarify that there is no intent or effort to be dishonest about any numbers utilized as they were supplied by the compared agencies. The comment in the video regarding the handling of 2x as many incidents is followed the statement "Per Officer". I apologize that it is not more clear in the video.
