Hi. Retired LA Sheriff Detective. Got bored and took a CSO job with the Redlands Police Dept. in CA.
We top out at $18.88 and hour and take reports with no susp. contact and lift prints, collect DNA evidence, crime scene photos, do crime scene sketches, etc. We take state POST classes in forensics and are certified Crime Scene Techs. Full city paid health and retirement plans. Not bad. Extra 5% for working nights. Nice on top of the retirement. Hi to the Bellflower CSO as you work for my old outfit, LASD.
