WTK POLICE SALARY AND INFO

[nervewrecker]

Do all cops generally get similar salary ?
I.e. A motorbike traffic cop vs street cop

I think the biker guys get something more..
Some of them really into the work jed.
May look like they just driving in front and behind a big truck but of you observe them it's a lot more than that.
A truck break a junction a day and the cop that was in front was blocking off traffic on the side till the front of the truck passed. He then proceeded to get back in front it.
I flying down the next lane obvious to the truck coming through met it on a corner and bite the edge while gunning it. Officer was flying coming through and fit between truck and me. One miss and that officer would have been dead. Man nit only have balls of steel and reflexes that can put a cat to shame but he is a damn good rider!

[nervewrecker]

But all joke and fun aside. Police wuckkin!

Called Sunday night about a disturbance. Was politely and professionaly greeted on the phone by a Wpc at the fyzabad station.
She took down detailed info on the situation and spoke with intelligence.

Within 5 minutes everything was sorted out. I believe if we keep painting all with the same brush "prophecy fulfilment" (yes I did psychology) will come into play and they will just say f@*k it yes.

Give the police a chance and let's not fight them down.

[pugboy]

Yeah to be a bike cop you really have to be into that work,
It can't be easy riding all how and sweating in that jacket and full helmet all day

Just an update guys, I did apply and join the service. The salary is $9602.00 before deductions I end up with like $8700.00 plus i make close to $5000.00 overtime each month. This is just for clarification if any other persons wanted to know. Its a nice field of service nevertheless.

That's a good salary plus the overtime...That comes up to about $14000....That salary could get you a mortgage once you play you plan right. Have people dressing up in suit, sitting in ac whole day and wanna hold their heads high who not even making that when the month come.

Bless bro

Police should get minimum $20 K per month .

And maybe they will work . Just maybe .

A Ganja man paying them much more .

Wouldn't work.....Humans will always need more.

I think 12 is more realistic with greater recruitment requirements....Make it a graduate job etc...Need atleast an associate degree as minimum educational requirement. Force people to spend 3-4 years going through academic hardship etc so they mature some more. Also help weed out the ones who really want to be there.

I don't think Trinidad politicians want "smarter" police though.

It have NYPD officers who went Harvard etc.

Weeding out corrupt officers real easy...but no one has the balls to grab the bull by the horns...hopefully Gary sees the light and do what is urgently needed

Yup 100 % agree with you Shakes .

Miami PD and NYPD had same corruption problems - and it was FIXED.

The TTPS is a huge corrupt and dysfunctional family and needs to be broken up and reassembled .

YOu dont pay them more for them to work... thats not how it works, they should be paid on merit and the work that can actually be quantified...… I know several businesses that used to try and use pay increase to help motivate their employees, it may work for a few weeks then its back to the usual lazy-a44 trini work etihc, however once some of those companies got proper HR departments, some of them switched to a diferent pay system where they would be paid according to job anaylsis and quantification...guess what- those who were really working were rewarded accordingly, and those who were just playing the fool were demoted and eventually quit because they felt insulted...… problem solved, got the lazy good for nutthen wukker out of their companies without any Union BS!

I was just mentioning the salary for anyone who was interested to know. The job is amazing at the end of the day. It has its ups and downs, extremely dangerous but at the end of the day there is room for promotions and departments and it pays the bills.

[hong kong phooey]

Good to know rere . Be safe out there .
hope you live up to the moto "to protect and serve"
there are many good officers out there but it only take a few bad ones to spoil the image

[thelem-again]

One of the reasons why the TTPS would never be fixed, regardless of a new COP is because of the Police Union.

Unions always spell bad news in terms of development and anti-corruption because they would always fight the management of an organization.

If you think the Police Union going and support any decision that the COP makes, you all must be dreaming. They already outright didn't want to support him. So more than likely they wont support any of his new initiatives and plans.

And yes I know that members of the National Security are barred by law from any industrial action, but the public will still feel the brunt of it. Remember the day of national policing? Remember that weak bs of a report/inquiry into it?

[MaxPower]

^ then hopefully the COP has strict measures in place for insubordination.

So you working now ?

What type of training you get ?

Give us details

[rere31]

Training was essentially good. The only bad thing was that its alot in a short period of time. Operation is from 5:00 am to around 4:00pm Mon to Fri. Basic physical training in the morning for roughly an hour. Then on to the educational aspect, a range of policing subjects to wit Criminal Law, Police Duties, Traffic Laws, Evidence and Procedures, Behavioral Sciences, then there's a mix of Drill and Defensive Tactics training, Survival Training, firearms. Our batch trained with the sig sauer p229 pistol and the MP5 sub, sensitization with departments of policing eg Organized Crime, Financial etc. Strict discipline was implemented in anything that you do though. Every activity in the academy was governed by rules; even washing your clothes. We were inside for six weeks straight. After which every other weekend we were allowed home as well as a night pass either the tuesday or thursday for the week. Certain training implemented changes the way you think on a day to day basis, the way you respond and also you tend to pay closer attention to things around you that you never did before eg vehicle number plates, persons description, points of entry or exit in buildings, persons standing around you etc.

Does having a University Degree change your pay or department you work in? And do all start off as constables?

[widdyphuck]

Being a police right now might be the best thing.
Curfew so less people to deal with and your salary running while everyone else begging.

250 or so are currently covid+ and a few dead. Some of those 250 are probably hospitalized. 1000 or so currently in quarantine so there's that.

Nat Sec and teaching may be the only safe jobs left in this country for a very long time to come

Just a general update again, making it three years now in the CID, commuted salary. For the persons who are enquiring relative to degrees, you aren't paid for your degree, you can make an application but that never works out unless you have a llb or greater. The salary really isnt bad to think of it, if you are strict with budgeting and you have a dual income household, you can achieve alot once you live within your means. Plus you have the time and avenues to venture into little business ideas, turning vehicles, online stores etc. The job itself is demanding but once you can budget your time and money, you can reach very far financially. I apply myself very diligently to the job however when I'm off, I focus on myself and leave those case files on my desk. It's all about finding that balance, if anyone ever needs advice feel free to send me a private message. I am very grateful for the job security and I am even more excited to see what I can achieve within the next five years.

Good info for the Tuner crowd

What is the difference between a SRP and regular police ?

Since 1,000 plus TTPS have COVID is there a recruit ongoing NOW ?

SRP officers are branched into two, full-time and part-time. These officers are only allowed to work for a certain time period for the month, however they don't make any overtime. They also don't have any gratuity plans set. Full fledged police officers have both of the aforementioned but they are mandated to work in excess of 40 hour work weeks. Also as a SRP, you can have another job or be a business owner however as a full fledged officer, you cannot have another job as that is considered moonlighting and if you are desirous of owning a registered business, you must get permission from the C.O.P.
Relative to recruitment, I believe the process is ongoing as a batch of 45 recently passed out but it ks always good to pay attention to the TTPS facebook page as they make posts when "walk in" screening is being conducted.
