Does anybody have intel on Rhode Island?

r/

Like are there police unions weak and trash af.

Or are their contracts & morale generally good? I only ask because it seems like a cheaper place to live than nyc or boston.

Both being an hour away by flight or car. I asked a friend and he said they aint nothing in rhode island and that it sucks and its boring.

    West Warwick PD starts at $72k a year. Cranston PD also has a big contract coming for new hires. Police unions in RI are very strong. Usually hire ups in the department retire and become politicians or sheriffs dept.

    RI sucks, through and through, especially for policing. Pay is shit except for the big cities (which are horribly overrun with crime and DAs/Judges who don’t do shit to repeat offenders, on top of severe negativity for LEOs. It sucks, it’s boring, and I wouldn’t recommend being an LEO in RI. Some unions may be better than others, but not worth it

    As much as i would try to deter, as a current LEO in CT, pay is decent
