holyjohnson Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 does the photograph of the person gettin` her hair did invoke the seriousness of the charges,or is the reporter also the stylist? i`m way too Yankeefied to grasp a lot of this..... when someone named "Rowdy" is the least violent option,that tells the whole story.

So the thread can get back to topic .it interests me to hear different versions of criminals I get that it's not an idea you want to accept but studies have concluded again and again that one of the easiest way to eliminate corruption in LE is to pay them livable wages. As for don't treat any employee as migrant seasonal farm workers, well, that's a good general practice regardless of industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Czervik Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 People will or will not choose to be criminals and/or abuse their position of power. If one is dissatisfied with their current income, they are free to find something better, whether or not is in their current area/locale or industry/government. Choices.....everyone has them.

PATCHMAN Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I know it's a common refrain for many to say "they should find something better..." I also know that I don't know the history of Southport PD but it is entirely possible that several chiefs prior to this have tried the position, found it wanting and found something better. As a result, here we are today... Or maybe not. Edited July 29, 2018 by PATCHMAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) you mention studies can you produce them to the forum ? can you tell me what a livable wage is and how it is determined to be livable or not livable ?

Dric902 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Paying people to not be corrupt...........where can I sign up. “I need a yearly pay raise and bennies or i may fall back into corruption” sounds like DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dric902 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Corruption is in the heart, not the paycheck. A corrupt man can be paid a million a year and will still be corrupt. what you are advocating is that if we pay enough then the temptation to corruption will be less tempting. Corruption is not on a sliding scale of income, it is a character flaw. Or all teachers would be corrupt, all gas station attendants, hotel housekeepers, etc. They are not. you have the wrong people in place. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or all teachers would be corrupt, all gas station attendants, hotel housekeepers, etc. They are not. you have the wrong people in place. . Perfectly stated. Paying a person lacking integrity more may reduce their incentive to behave corruptly, but it doesn’t fix their lack of integrity. When I was a HS teacher trying to support a family of five on less than $50k a year we had a strict budget and I eventually took a part time job. I didn’t do that job during school hours nor did I let it impact my school obligations. Thankfully that part time job turned into a full time opportunity that paid a lot more than teaching in a public school. To Patchman’s point, the school lost a pretty good teacher because they paid a crappy wage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don't feel like I make "a liveable wage" then by your reasoning it would be ok to steal from my employer by clocking in and then leave to go work someplace else, finist my second job and go back and clock out of the job I did nothing at and get paid for both. Sounds reasonable to me. Can I " work" for you? Edited September 7, 2018 by Bogart Grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds reasonable to me. Can I " work" for you? Sure, if you meet the standards. For any position, of course an employer can set the salary the employer feels is sufficient. But guess what? If the salary is set too low for that position/responsibility/job skills, the usual result is you get a high turnover of qualified workers. Sure, eventually you might get an employee who decides to stay long term. But that usually results in a situation akin to the Peter Principle.
