    South Providence is a historical and ethnically diverse neighborhood that works well with law enforcement.

    Minimum wage in the academy with no job upon graduation. Won't see a car for a few years after they finally get around to calling you to work, which historically can be in excess of 18 months after the academy.

    the last few academy's only half of the class gets on, the rest are on a waiting list.... the department is down to about 430 compared to a usual operating strength of 500 officers.
