<br />No citizen of La Porte is concerned with our entrance requirements when their home <br /> <br />has just been burglarized, or a loved one has been assaulted or killed. We strive to be as <br /> <br />good as we can be, but don't feel like we are appreciated or respected by the City <br />Administration. <br />The wages of Patrol officers in Pasadena and Deer Park are comparable to what <br /> <br />a Lt. with 10 years in rank makes at La Porte PD-this difference is absurd. How <br /> <br />can we expect to attract, hire, train, and retain officers at this rate? What is our <br /> <br />attraction? We are anxiously waiting to move into a new facility with much <br /> <br />anticipation and expectation, but we must be able to staff our building fully to complete <br />our mission successfully. <br /> <br />In closing, I would like to ask the City Council to take a serious look at the PD' s <br /> <br />pay and to adjust it quickly and accordingly so that employee recruitment and <br /> <br />retention will not remain one of our foremost concerns. <br />
