Patrol officer - Police Officer Chatham County Employee Review

Good pay, community, location, and hours

Have to commute 30+ minutes because of living costs

The health benefits are outstanding and the take home car policy saves you a lot of money.

Just about everything else. Low pay, low morale, micromanaging, unsupportive administration, write ups for the most trivial reasons, lack of community support, high turnover coupled with high call volume, no promotional opportunities unless you're in the "good old boys" club, and broken/outdated equipment.
