'Bleakest it's ever been': DPS faces major trooper shortage going into tight budget season
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 พ.ค. 2024
- On one of Arizona's many highways - sometimes in a sea of cars - you may have noticed one vehicle missing: a trooper's car. That's as the Department of Public Safety (DPS), the agency in charge of Arizona's highways, says it's facing its worst staffing crisis ever. On the days and nights when staffing is more strained, DPS has had to rely on other law enforcement agencies to serve Arizona as emergencies pop up.

Why would anyone want to be a police officer these days?
Yep, that's why we end up with the trash cops that we have now.
Maybe they can hire the illegals
They don’t. They just do it for the benefits and a family to feed.
They get paid a fortune, get to retire early and get to bully people
They probably dont know about the paid vacations for murdering people.
Let's be real, they don't keep anyone safe they just collect revenue
On the contrary, when people see troopers, they slow down and obey traffic laws.
@@denniswilliams2385 slowing down ≠ increased safety. Frankly it's more disruptive and less safe to the normal flow of traffic.
@@jesshawkins6496 That’s correct however I was not referring to looky loo’s but to those that drive at excessive speeds until they spot a trooper.
@@jesshawkins6496 yup!!!
@@denniswilliams2385 except there are relatively few of those types of drivers on the road. The vast majority of drivers keep within the traffic laws but still cram on their brakes when they see a cop, or refuse to pass them even if they are driving under the speed limit. It's disruptive and less safe for the vast majority of drivers.
END THE POLYGRAPH. I applied for a non-sworn position at DPS, and their polygrapher, Dan Caputo, came to the conclusion that I've done multiple drugs, committed several crimes against people, AND was trying to "manipulate my physiology" to try and cheat on the exam. All this despite the fact that I graduated from college six months before taking this polygraph, and had passed an FBI polygraph previously.
Bootlickers stormtroopers.. they'll get desperate and they'll call you back don't worry
Sounds like what my cousin went through with his CBP polygraph. My cousin was raised Christian and a super good kid. Never in trouble, no drugs, didn't drink before 21 etc. The polygraph person went off on him telling him he's delusional and really believes he's never done any wrong in his life. My cousin was so blown away by how he was treated that he immediately walked out and was super upset. He couldn't believe that he was a good person and the guy just couldn't believe that a good person like him existed. Total bullshit
My son's polygraph tester told him part way into the test that he didn't like him and was going to fail him because he thought my son was a liar. THANKS to him my son now is an RN making 1/2 again more money, not getting shot at and does not have to be belittled in court by judges.
Polygraph isn't even admissible in court. Why do they even use this? It is like swearing to tell the whole truth so help you god knowing there is no such thing as God.
I think you were too honest and to good of a person.. 👮🏻 dont like that
Ducey.........budget surplus.
Hobbs.....budget deficit.
Hmmmmmmmm.
Maybe because of Ducey approving the Universal Voucher program for education and the flat tax. Those are draining revenues. Sooo yeah!
@@thelaguyinphoenix7837 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea, sure.
Ducey was the goat he should be the one running for senate but got goofy lake don’t mind mark lamb
@@1232hdh Ducey is as corrupt as the rest of them. Arizona is a joke when it comes to politics because it’s a purple state. Both sides are just focused on securing that seat and getting paid. Most people in both cabinets have no experience because of how volatile voting is. These servants should work together to hear from the people of Arizona, maybe even out the voices of the counties who don’t have >200,000 people
Who wants to put their life on the line against a weak border as well as career criminals for $22-30 and hour? The stress level doesn't match the pay level.
Lmao they make like 100k a years plus benefits, they're lying 😂😂😂
Not only are they overpaid, they don’t do anything for the good of the public
@@paulliebler7660Correct
No law says they have to do anything at all
@@paulliebler7660in so cal.. $200k plus in a few yrs
Bleakest. According to these guys. That have a vested interest in portraying this situation as bleak.
but who will give tickets out for going 9mph over? Think about the safety of the streets!
Lmao 😂😂😂 right ! All they are is glorified tax collectors anyway , people need to wake TF up , you think after ulvade people would use their brain and know cops dgaf about us at all 😂
admitting to speeding, aren't you cool
@@JazzyGazzy-nj8rn he's not admitting to speeding he's describing their pettiness for going a 9 mile per hour over tickets they're not saving nobody's life by that 9 miles over they're just collecting Revenue stop being an ass hat boot licker

@@JazzyGazzy-nj8rn He just asked a question,...not a confession.
But without cops, who will harass me and search my car in the hopes of finding drugs that I don't have?
stop breaking the law and they will stop pulling you over.
@@russelllane7295 Tell that to all the innocent people who have been exonerated after serving their sentence...
Don’t worry, we still have Phoenix PD for all that!
Sounds like the bottom fell out of the barrel!
Short answer... stay the F out of Arizona if you're driving and are law abiding.
GED to become a trooper... ouch.
That's the bare minimum and they aren't hiring the bare minimum.
trust me there is no shortage
You're right everyone's just making it up.
What makes you write that?
@@nickmarsala3787 next time there is an incident look at the amount of cops that show up and stand around doing absolutely nothing but yapping
@@prescottwilliams4637 this is for state trooper. And they’re getting short if there’s literally cops coming into my gym to recruit people in Sierra vista.
Cut his budget 50%, and you will just be touching the fat.😒😒😒😡
Im sure all the Criminals and traffickers appreciate you letting them know this...
Cops don’t catch real criminals. They are glorified traffic cameras.
They weren’t catching those people anyways. That’s their defense when you try to take more from their budget. They use your money to sit on the highway and collect more money from you. Anything else, they just report after the fact.
@@705michaelwilliams and pad their arrests with obstruction, resisting, failure to inflate a cops ego
2 billion deficit? lol…..Here in progressive California, our deficit is 68 billion for next year!👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍
We will get there Calif. 60 Billion Deficit and Beyond is the Goal to Finish off Arizona and become Dependant BLUE...begging😂😂
480 troopers and 6800 miles of road. That’s 14 miles of road per trooper. How is that difficult? I drive between 300-500 miles per day for my job.
Imagine getting shot and waiting for backup.....
@@MrWatts-dz6fb They wont have to imagine it for long, the statistics are on the rise!
Dem. math? minimum 100 desk and investigation duty, divide by 3 shifts
@MrWatts-dz6fb google top five dangerous jobs. Being a cop isn't in it.
They kinda created this hell upon themselves.
You reap what you sow…
Eh. People are allowed to carry out there. Everything will be fine.
For now.
@@MrRAGE-md5rj Government is the problem, not the solution.
How do road pirates keep the roads safe 🤔
by pulling dorks like you over and arresting them. who do you thing deals with human smugglers and drug runners on I-40? not you.
well, hire more of your applicants lol.
Oh no. Say it ain't so. Who's going to man the speed traps? I'm looking at you Dusty Clark. I will never forget you.
Speed traps are mostly gone for the most part at least in Florida and Georgia.
@@originaldelta That's great but we're talking about AZ.
Oh no, however will we survive without road pirates looking to levy their taxes on us thru endless traffic stops for minor at best infractions 😂😅😂😅😂
Do you need to be a prick before you join or do you learn that in the academy?
real answer is no ,they need desk jockey cops too and thats where you end up if your not a prick
Absolutely a prerequisite. 🎅
Normally a prerequisite for joining but due to the shortage they will also teach it at the academy.
Required
You are just mad that the caught you selling meth to kids
Haha it's all the lawsuits from them violating rights
why don't you get a job first before you start criticizing those who do a job your not tough enough to do.
@@russelllane7295 my iq is too high to be a police officer and im not at sadist. And all the cops I went to school with were always such wimps. Too tough? You blue line gang members get so mad at comments😆😆. Nobody hates the fire department. I wonder why. 😆😆😆😆😆 I love these morons defunding themselves so much
Don’t believe any of these lies about shortages.
Remember their hiring practice has a polygraph which they will use to disqualify applicants even if they have no criminal record, have already passed the written, physical, and psychological exams.
Concerning
But at least there are fewer cops out there available to violate someone's Constitutional rights
And Arizona is one of the biggest states regarding police misconduct
exactly.....
It's a Racket. Corruption. He knows like Most Arizona Taxpayers know. Intentional.😂😂😂
Nevada Highway Patrol is also not 24/7. Only Las Vegas has 24 hour coverage.
Facts
Nobody wants to be a tyrant!
The reporting stinks. How much does a trooper make? How much do troopers in nearby states make. Does Arizona pay overtime and provide a competitive retirement? How many troopers are expected to retire soon? What explains the shortage?
Oh BS! Stop pulling people over for minor issues
Minor issues like 50 over the limit, they should be chasing real criminals.
minor issues is how police discover important issues. how about you stop violating traffic law and be in compliance with the law.
Like a tag light out, a failed turn signal while changing lanes, etc. etc.
Less road pirates
Arizona get your guns protect yourself.
Polygraph is the biggest joke in the hiring process.
I would but I don’t want to be tazed.
Gee, that's too bad.
Tell them to drop smoking weed as a disqualification 😂😂😂 maybe they can have more people
No state agency can smoke weed how is that going to fix the problem.
dopers should sit in jail
@@zackmay925 so should politicians but who said your opinion matters
@@zackmay925 That's the majority of American men lol
Road pirates
A job that’s needed but not wanted.
Hiring anyone that was a jock in High School.Quarterbacks and those with a big ego get a bonus at hire.
I applied two years back passed the whole background and they failed me out because I could only do 34 sit-ups not 35. I now am at the California Highway Patrol academy...
I drive at night. Put Waze on and the hammer down!
the camera and platforms to publish videos on has shown the world just how inept and corrupt our justice system and law enforcement in particular are ,its a shitty time to be a cop because the world is watching and the system is broken
How much freeway has expanded along with this shortage? I rarely ever see highway patrol and I take the I-10, 202 & 101 almost every day. Not that I’m complaining…
Less thin blue line gang members 😂🤣
The troopers in AZ are the worst. lol. This is great news !
Trooper are crooks
@@Elcompa452 like you ?
I live in Colorado and I want to join the desert boys 🌵🤷🏽.
I blame parents for raising soft kids that have zero respect and the entire Democratic Party. Watch the way you vote
And trump wants to be a dictator.... so yes I will watch how I vote.
@@arctictruck10Biden is the dictator... Oh and incredibly corrupt.
Which party has the current leader sitting in court facing felony charges? The Republicans....I'll answer for you in case you wanted to go down the conspiracy path!
@@arctictruck10 Dream on,...
@8000RPM. what should I dream on about?
Katie Hobbs!
End qualified immunity and have lawsuit awards come out of trooper pension fund. Body cams shouldn’t be shut off during an active call.
Maybe If , Y'all Stop Trying To Get Overtime Money , Y'all Police Wouldn't Have A Problem Right Now .
"We'll have to wake someone up to get somebody out to you." You all have your mansions though right? "What? Of course we all have our mansions don't be ridiculous."
Pay them more and get college graduates
Why college grads?
@susanbrown2578 because they have gained critical thinking skills that can prevent lawsuits against the department that cause taxpayers' payout.
How about just obeying the law? Like we have to? And knowing their job “ knowing the law/civil rights” Like we have to
@@arctictruck10 lolololololololol.
@@alaefarmestatesllc what's your solution?
Need to put more speed cameras up - they are impartial and do a good job catching speeders.
Understand because it’s the Wild West out there. Who wants to work these jobs for under $50,000 a year?
Sir troopers make good money......
The Wild West was better than this. At least then, you didn't pay nearly as much taxes, including property.
It’s crazy because I’m completely qualified I apply to all these departments and all of them act funny when they get a good black candidate this is crazy fr I’m literally qualified and have previous experience wth HIRE ME!!!
You're not qualified for the good ole boy's club.
It’s a problem of their own doing. People are tired of the lack of transparency and accountability
Get rid of the college degree requirement
They don't have one.
👑🤴🐼... I think if the community and police have better relationships, we have better neighborhood's n more civil interactions with policia n etc... BIG CHECK'S BIG FAVORS BIG BUSINESS BIG DONATIONS
Just call the local Sherriff’s office.
Nah change the requirements if you want changes in the Department.
How much has the state paid out legal payouts for police violating law and civil rights?
Make academy shorter and let troopers grow a beard
But they have police officers to send Rudy Giuliani’s birthday party to serve him. In Florida.
Cops should be better if they want more people to help them 🤷♂️
When law enforcement is short staffed the criminals thrive and morale gets extremely low but the jails are already full so what do you do with them. You could build more jails but that will cost a lot of money.
pull more guys off the brady list why don't ya, not corrupt enough? we need total police reform
All the cop bashing finally caught up.
They never heard of the National Guard for emergencies like this? No staffing means Somebody must do the JOB? Military Police can help out. Simply the Drugs Must Roll. Big Money talks. No trooper needs to be Snooping Around.😊
Now everyone is going to drive even faster.
Maybe your slow ass should keep up with the flow of traffic?
Take back the money spent on immigrants and put it to use hiring law enforcement officers and increasing their pay and benefits
Being a cop in America in this day and age is one of the most embarrassing jobs to have. Only low life people would wanna be a cop these days
i gave up my 185k job offshore after 17 years .. i'm now a texas state trooper and it's the best thing i could of done . please please do resist during arrest .. and you will see what happens 😎
@TheDriller100 Amen. I don't think most anti-cop dummies realize how much money cops make. Ad a patrol officer I've never earned over $335K in a year, but Oakland patrol officer Malcolm Miller earned over $640K in 2019.

I guess its time to start hiring criminals oh wait police department have been doing that for years. How can you be a cop yet you were charged with a DUI its crazy but I can show you a bunch of cops with DUI charges that still have their jobs as "law enforcement"
