"i was a manager for harley davidson for ten years "
Sweet gig. Why did you leave ? I don't think you'd have any problems getting into the dept here. I see them advertise for officers in the newspaper.

To answer you question about local Police departments, openings, and benefits see the following websites... Links are disabled so you'll have to cut and paste. I did include information for some of the neighboring cities to the ones you listed.
You will probably want to do you own investigation into the individual department's reputation and officer safety statistics.

You will probably not have a problem at all getting a job w/ any of the area pd's. Many have some pretty nice signing bonuses. Talk to several, drive around those cities and see which one you'd prefer to work in.
As for the emissions testing on vehicles, actually a car that is 2 years old has to get it. It is the much older cars that are exempt  , those are the ones probably doing the most damage. Go to texas.gov to find out everything about obtaining a license, moving and what all you need to know. |
