Riverside Sheriff Layoff's

[Beagle]

What you need to do is apply for any and all LEO position and I would also apply for support staff positions as well since the process can take a while.

Big bummer.

Yeah, Riverside Sheriff's Department is going to lay off 100 deputies/correctional officers in the first wave of layoffs, plus many more (up to 800, right?)...

BUT YET

They're still "hiring" and encouraging die-hard HOPEFUL law enforcement applicants to waste their time and come in for testing.. corrupt scammers.. RSD doesn't even have money to fund their own positions let alone fund individual hiring processes for qualified candidates AND conduct an academy.. what a laughable joke and I hope the lay-offs go swell

I've wasted my time with so many agencies that say they're "hiring", but when all stages are completed and an employment invitation is expected, I received a 'sorry we're broke, we can't run an academy'..

I have more respect for the nasty recruits in boot camp than the roaches in these law enforcement agencies that put on charades of potential employment..

Your post shows your ignorance and belief of entitlement. Maybe this line of work isn't for you.

Per an article in the Press Enterprise today, the County has broken off all negotiations with the union also.

They also mentioned Hemet PD has sent notices to everyone; including the acting chief there will be layoffs. That dept. does permit "bumping" tho, so lts. will become sgts. and sgts. officers again. They already laid off 9 officers last year. They were probably the ones who had lateraled over 3yrs. ago with a bonus.

I live in the unincorporated area of Wincester/French Valley. When I moved in, almost 5yrs. ago, I was told they only have 1 deputy on EMs in my area. I guess if this goes thru, it will be 1 deputy on EMs for my area, Lake Elsinore, Menifee, Wildomar, etc. total.

Incredible..... This is not going good.... These Men/Women have families to feed and communities to protect. I can't believe that! Now their is going to be a flood of RSO laterals flooding around, to make the LEO market even more competitive

The county needs to get their act together, quit being selfish about salaries and wasting money! These Deputies are front line foot soldiers, that keep criminals from running rampant.

I don't see how they are going to pull that off in light of the upcoming state budget re-alignment and subsequent growth of county inmate populations. If anything, they need to be hiring more.

You are correct. Another important and related issue is the state is taking funds from the counties under the authority of the state and using those fund to help supplement the free hand outs going to illegals and people to lazy to work. I never been a 'sky is falling' kind of person but that monetary loss coupled with the soon to be expansion of state inmates in the county jail systems is a certain receipt for disaster. Not just in Riverside but all over the state.

The closing of private owned state prisons, moving/releasing prisoners, and combining it with PD layoffs and hiring freezes is opening Pandora's box! Hate to bring in politics, but I hope the moonbeam supporters are happy as CA goes to hell in a hand basket. Not that Whitman was a great candidate either, but this is a really stupid move. Cut off the immigrants, and implement a drug test system for the others getting a free ride. Also put a system in place that makes them provide some sort of proof they are looking for work. IE: list date and time applied, who they turned app in to. Any management they spoke to etc.... We'll see how quick that budget gets a lot stronger!

And they still won't issue CCW's to regular citizens without a 'special cause.' AND they want to take away UOC. Farking Horses**t.

"They" is pretty broad...who are you talking about?

The RSO CCW unit will not issue to "regular" citizens.......

[Cheese & Bacon]

Riverside only houses felony and violent misdemeanor inmates. They are going to close over 500 beds and put those inmates on the streets again. Call the county board of supervisors and tell them what you think.

[gschoelles]

The Sheriff could move to shall issue since the Board did state a positive position on this! That would be nice.

What did you list as your reason in your paperwork?

[Ron-Solo]

The recent academy graduates sponsored by RSO were given pink slips at graduation. It is bad

[cindynles]

What did you list as your reason in your paperwork?

"I wish to carry a handgun for the purpose of self defense, specifically from animal predators such as coyotes and mountain lions"

[yzErnie]

When you submitted that sentence did you articulate a justification?
