If you were more forthcoming about why you want information, maybe people would be more inclined to share...

Good point Wolfman, Well it all starts with a female I know who was fed truckloads of bullshit from guys who work on that dept. Including they have arrest powers (their officers made over 3000 arrests last year) they get at least 32 hours of paid detail time a week, on and on. I am trying to get the real info here.

That comes out to about 60 arrests per week, which is about what we average (sometimes less, sometimes more) as a full-service police department for a city of 100,000 people.

Do you really need definitive proof to know they're full of shit?

Posted by: DodgeRam

Not really. Now I start the shitstorm... Thanks guys. Stay Safe.

1. Basically an un-paid Auxiliary Unit correct?

Yes, for the most part.

First you have to be a dispatcher for 90 days
FEMA ICS 100, and 700 while on your 90 days
First responder next
Reserve academy to become an officer (get a uniform, go outside)
Firearm qualification next (Glock 21, 45 cal)
Baton qualification
OC qualification

Now you can work on the streets. 6 months of probation however. Mess up once and you are gone. Lee runs a pretty strict department. I don't blame him.

Eventually, if you work out. I'm not sure what you were told and by whom.
I can think of a few guys who might pull off 25 hours a week. We're talking retired guys who are available 24/7. In reality, it's very unlikely.

Yes, patrol (vehicle, bike, foot), special assignments, etc.

In regards to 'arrests', I can only think of 2 situations where an individual has been handcuffed and detained by BEMA, and in both situations the actions were justified. 3,000 is an absurd suggestion. In reality, those guys don't want to arrest anyone. They don't get paid to go to court. They're there for a resume and a reference.

BPD now requires potential full time recruits to work in BEMA for a period of time. Don't believe me? Call BPD and ask. Even if your 'next in line' on civil service, BPD will tell you to join BEMA first. Chiefs from other departments have been sending 'potentials' to BEMA recently as well.

I'm not a representitive or agent in any shape or form. My information is as acurate and up to date as for as I know as of 07/2008. Please contact BPD directly for verrification or any additional questions.
