Rockford Park District’s Post

We are hiring at the Ankeny Police Department. Below, you see the great benefits, salary, opportunities, and incentives.   Honest talk: no amount of money is worth the sacrifices made when becoming a police officer. In my opinion, officers should be paid an enormous amount of money, which is why I am not a city manager; my talents are better suited to law enforcement. Money is undoubtedly important as it provides stability and comfort. The salary you receive at the Ankeny Police Department will provide that stability and comfort. However, being paid well is only a small part of the job and cannot match the emotional, physical, and mental currency you will invest into the profession.   We are seeking individuals who will contribute positively to our culture, and help us maintain a successful, positive, and safe work environment. We want people who understand what they are getting into. Law enforcement is a different kind of job. On patrol, you won't get every other weekend off. Work/life balance is very important to our department, and we make every effort to make sure you achieve that balance. But sometimes, work will get in the way of life.   You will make a difference in someone's life and never know it. Some people you encounter will never change. You will enter a person's life during a difficult or uncomfortable situation and will be expected to show empathy, recognize dangerous situations, and stay safe, sometimes all at once. You will make mistakes, learn from your mistakes, be receptive to constructive criticism, and continue improving. We hold each other accountable, and you will be expected to do your job every day, not sit on the sidelines. Once you're a part of our organization, it becomes your organization - we're all on the same team. You will become part of a team where the leadership has experienced how it feels to work non-stop, responding to call after call without being able to leave work at the scheduled time. That same leadership understands and knows the sacrifices each officer makes and will never take your commitment to serve and protect for granted.    Along with everything I mentioned above, you will receive some great gifts: pride, satisfaction, praise, commitment, dedication, and honor. You will smile, laugh, and love the people around you.   This is a different kind of job. Is this for you? Join the Ankeny Police Department.

Anyone else try to call Police for a dispatch lately? As part of our SOPs with customers we will routienly need to call the local police dispatch for Video Verified Incidents. But recently I have had to discuss response times with our customers. Depending on the part of the country, the incident, the time of day we may get a slow response or we may get no response at all. This is becoming much more of a problem. Discussing with a customer today who brought up the Alameda Police department because of their ambitious sign on bonus program! They are short 30% of the officers they need. This was instituted this summer and drew a bunch of attention, but I wonder how their hiring has been since? #security #securityprofessionals #securityofficers #police #recruiting #labor #remoteguarding #remotemonitoring

In The News: In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a concerning shortage of police officers, with 160 vacant positions and a population of 411,000, has intensified public safety concerns. Mayor G.T. Bynum addressed the negative portrayal of officers in the media, emphasizing its impact on recruitment and the careers of existing officers. This shortage is a national issue, reflected in a 4% decline in law enforcement jobs from March 2020 to August 2022. Challenges include low applicant numbers, poor applicant quality, background check disqualifications, generational differences, and increased scrutiny on law enforcement. At GoJoe Patrol, we recognize the need for tailored security solutions amid this shortage. We do this by offering various services to enhance community safety without aiming to replace the police.
