Reader Feedback from Jim Tynan, Retired Lt. of Brigantine Police Department, 1992….. \u00a0How times have changed. I started on the Brigantine PD, January 1967. I was ‘low badge’ (#5). I worked 6 day week. Made $4,800 per year.\u00a0Was not put into pension system until one year probation period was complete. May have gotten a \u201cfew\u201d sick days with pay, if you WERE sick with doctor\u2019s note. \u00a0No vacations, personal days, o.t., or comp time til after 1st year. Times have really changed.\u00a0If anyone remembers anything different, feel free to correct me. Best wishes for both sides of this issue.<\/p>\n
If Brigantine Unions (public safety) have a committee: Check out the Miami P.D. deal\u2026..I think they can retire, some at almost 100% of regular pay, and come back to work, maybe a month later, at same rank, same pay, JUST w\/o being able to add to their pensions, med benefits (already have them).<\/p>\n
Why would ruling politicians let this happen? VOTES!<\/p>\n
I think Miami PD calls it a \u201cdrop\u201d system.<\/p>\n
