Theres many differences in SCSO Captain + and FSP Major +, some good and some not so good.
In addition, I believe SCSO still has a long route to go to get to standards that we all expect, but I can admit that they have turned a massive page to where they were before. From all the reforms and being the unpopular department always having around 60-70 deputies, it’s now grown and more people have trust in them.
Heres a lot of reasons why SCSO has a better improvment:
Firstly, they get more action then FSP and even though they are county wide they usually act as a municipal by staying in redwood (because 99% of people are in redwood) Many people have resigned from FSP to get more action, as FSP’s jurisdiction is wack.
Secondly, SCSO has SWAT. and this SWAT has improved a lot over the past year. A year ago, people disliked SCSO:SWAT including me, now I respect SWAT since it has improved much better.
However, the main reason why a department is categorized as bad (in the eyes of the public) is from if the troopers are mature, respectful, and non abusive and active. A single trooper or deputy can easily ruin the reputation of that department.
Lets start with recent events.
Firstly, there has been 12+ suspended troopers in the past 7 days, meaning troopers are declining.
FSP:GATE has happened, and 2 power hungry members of FSP was removed.
Yeah Straphos has done extremely well… big changes in a positive way with SCSO. SCSO member count also on a big rise too competing with FSP quite a bit. Believe SCSO has been doing extremely well lately and continues to be on an incline in terms of maturity, activity, and professionalism.
Also, meeting center activity doesn’t prove anything by the way to those saying anything. It’s something to show to the public but overall, your department being seen as mature and professional is much better than a larger attendance at the meeting center. Also, I see many deputies patrolling in county and believe that the “There’s way more FSP on than SCSO” isn’t neccessairly true. Also, it isn’t a competition and should never been seen as one!
Overall, props to @Straphos my boy doin hella good.
