Help Wanted - Dallas
- The Dallas Police Department has come to Chicago, looking to recruit some of the 300 new police officers the organization wants to hire this year.
[...] Senior Corporal Ray Milburn said the recent Dallas officer deaths and general climate for police has not scared people from applying this year.
“It was very similar to the World Trade Center on 9/11 when the military had an influx of people,” he said.
“The thing that I ask [people] is that if their mom, their grandma, their kids needed an officer, who would they want to come answer that call? It’s a career, it’s a job, and you got to have a passion for wanting to do this,” he said.
Corporal Milburn said the Dallas PD is looking for more diversity, especially women. He also acknowledged the department chose to recruit in Chicago because of the city’s diversity. About a hundred Dallas officers hired in the last five years came from Illinois as well.
The window closed for yesterday, but a quick google search will bring up application procedures.

Dallas pd is not without problems , I have met a few refugees In the past . Research and use your head .
SCC - Perhaps a "caveat emptor" to someone thinking of being the police in "Big D." The pension fund evidently is even more messed up than ours and current officers are bailing out and cashing out funds. Maybe Austin, San Antonio, Arlington, or Plano would be better cities to consider.

Dallas is not Shangri-La.
Officers leaving in droves for suburbs for more money and "less diversity" and that entails.
Their pension fund is in worse shape than ours.
EVERYONE is armed.
It's simple. They're targeting CPD officers stuck in a liberal city that doesn't have their back. CPD officers are experienced. Dallas is smart because CPD officers would get out of this state and be a good addition to Dallas
Passion to do this job quickly goes out the door the minute an officer leaves the academy and is introduced to the station politics.
Check out the financial health of their prnsion plan before making any move south.
Taking lateral conversions?
Dallas and Texas is a better place to live than Chicago and Illinois!
I would take the job in Dallas before Chicago anyday, if I could!
Chicago and Illinois sucks as a whole!
Why anyone would leave here just to go to Dallas PD, with their own bag of serious $$$ pension problems, is anyone's guess.
Are there better environments to be the police than here? Very likely, but don't look at Dallas PD as one of those places. People have been leaving the DPD at an even faster rate than here for quite a while now.
Dallas PD was mentioned here on the blog before. They are no better than Shitcago when it comes to liberal bias against their police. Like most municipalities, they are infested with urban leeches who are multiplying, consuming, and demanding more entitlements each year while the elected idiots tax the working citizens right out of existence. They've had their share of bad press propaganda and officers there are jumping ship due to the weak and fearful leadership of that department as they have caved in to political pressure. Texas is still a "red" state, but with expanding liberal cesspools like Houston and Dallas, they are beginning to turn that state slightly left.
Yes, many cities in Texas have lateral entry. It is a big deal and many also have hiring bounus for lateral entry.
"...Texans. The worst white men I have ever met were Texans..."
Name the actor and series.
Heard from a friend in Dallas, they lost their pensions.
Will they take a lateral sergeant?

You mean corruption?!
As as former CPD guy that ended up in Texas, you can "lateral" in to most any suburban Dept; but Dallas, Ft Worth, Houston, the "big city" Depts will make you go through their academy. Just like our "metro" vs CPD academy deal. The state is great, they love their LEO's, but the inner cities have the same BS. For most of the smaller agencies, you have a pension that is carried by the Texas Municipal Retirment System (TMRS). They credit you with any other LEO time; my CPD time counted and I was vested after one year. Dallas IS lower paid than most surrounding smaller depts. it is a good place to be but Dallas guys are leaving faster than they can hire them. Ft Worth would be the better of the two. Anyway stay safe out their.

Well at least they raise the issue of "Da Job" being more than a pay-check. Using the Reality that Police Work should be more than a job and entails Passion and Commitment is commendable. Our Recruiting Posters seem to imply that Whites need not apply, and the main consideration is MONEY!The emphasis of our recruitment program seems to center on Salary. Join and you get a high paying job and you can make a "Difference". The definition of "Difference" is ambiguous and it is unclear as to whom this "Difference" will effect, and what this "Difference" is. Does this mean that the current Police Force is Not making a "Difference"? Then again, I guess if the Chicago Police Department is filled with Racists; well what should we expect? Our Recruitment Posters should simply say: "Hey Bro, if YOU want to make some Green come join our Blue Machine!" Never mind the concept of Vocation vs. Job, that is too complicated for our new Mercenary Occupation Force. Baby"G"
Plano PD is a suburb of Dallas and hiring as well. Plano pays a lot more and is a much safer city to work (about 3-5 murders per year) We have at least one CPD guy so far and he's a great guy. Send more down. I can assure you that you can leave the snow shovel behind. It was 75 on Tuesday.. Ya'll stay safe, praying for all you folks on the front line in Chicago.
No matter where you go, they still use you as a puppet, still will throw you under the bus for political gains, the bad ones still want to kill you. Here, I at least know what to expect from the savages, and I don't mean just the citizens...
If you think Dallas is a great move you might have a great shot at making it as a merit pick here...with clout of course.
Yep, thier retired oflickers are getting g crewed over with the pension plan. But it still has to be better then CHICAGO,
Dallas' pension is as bad or worse than Chicago.
The upside is that cities like Austin will recognize and reward you for being active duty and not punish you like Chicago does.
The only thing better there si the weather the diversity is like chiraq, the pension is broke (worse than cpd as a matter of fact kenny hauser how is that parity with fire pension they eliminated the gold braid bill to stop the theft of the pension funds from gold star goofs)>
No thanks better weather, broke pension, diversity we have that here! They are recruiting the minorities guess Dallas does not have enough! What do they call a doctor who finished dead last in class? Doctor!
Yea the one pension plan that's worse than ours. I'm all for Texas but no thanks on Dallas.
Sidestep Dallas and go elsewhere in Texas.
And yes... Everyone IS armed so get over
that Illinois and Chicago mindset about
citizens with guns.
Well they did use a robot carrying a bomb to permanently neutralize that nut job with the assault rifle. That gotta mean something. I mean was that not the coolest rite out of Hollywood stunt. Totally awesome.
Worked in Oklahoma for 9 years. Knew lots of DPD officers. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend you consider suburban DFW area departments before you EVER consider DPD. As others have said, pension there is also very problematic.
But if you decide to go - Texas is a whole other country !!! Get ready for big changes.
In this decidedly Anti-Police National sub-culture with media bias day in and day out, I find it hard to believe it has no effect on people wanting the job.
(OT) these leftist snowflakes are really out of control like rabid dogs attacking innocent people in college skulls full of mush out of control:
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/01/26/video-shows-leftist-activist-attacking-conservative-college-students.html
Their pension is fucked up because they were allowed to take out lump sums.
And, theyre on a "change" kick just like Chiraq.
In short, Dallas sucks too. It's not J.D. Tippit's department anymore.
Talk to a Leo in Austin the other day. After 25 years, 75% pension. 75k a year for the rest of your life seems pretty liveable.
• Chicago is known to have the best trained border collies used to corral restless herds. No bite, No wrangling, just chase them.
Key word - Diversity.
Plenty of able-bodied Texans available in DFW already applied and are being weeded out.
If you wind up down there and are disqualified, try looking for a PBR rodeo clown position...plenty of spots always available.
If you're going to get hurt on the job, do it in nice weather.
(OT) look at this pos left wing idiot teacher what a disgrace hope she gets 10 years minimum:

They have a. Better football team they like the Police I would run and that the job fuck Chicago !
The ultra liberal virus has struck Dallas. Too many mentals from California and Washington moving to Dallas. Chicago is already at the pinnacle of the virus and the journey was harder than arriving at the destination. Dallas is on that journey now. On the wrong train on the wrong track.
To. Mr. Southside.
Texans, the worst white man I've every met were Texans
1. Dallas
2. Gun Smoke
3. The Rifleman
I give up guessing which one?

Humming the theme music from "The Terminator" while trying to hide the all too obvious signs I'm excited just reading that.
Search out a Dallas Officer or easier to find former one. I have spoken to several. Each stated the moral there is worse than here, the local govt treats them horribly and pay attention, there have been more Officers attacked and shot on the south. It's not good here but the grass isn't always greener elsewhere. Stay safe stay vigilant
Dallas, as a city, in general, BLOWS. Texas or not.
I'm good. I'll pass.

Youre so full of shit that you sound like all those canadians who want to move back to canada after trump won the election, but havent. Dallas has no union and as soon as you do a slight fuck up. See you later mothafucka. Ill fucken pay for your ticket plane or bus. Dont talk about it just do it because thats probably how you are. Talking about everything youve done and never done a damn thing. What a pooch.
Someone mentioned the focus on diversity.... I applied to Dallas and was turned down. College educated, passed every segment of the hiring process, background completed no issues... Rejection letter. Not sure if I can or should blame my lack of "diversity" but it's possible.
Currently in the process for CPD.
