IS SEATTLES WEATHER WORTH THE EXTRA PAY?
The Honolulu Police Department has a perpetual recruitment drive, always striving to get the best candidates to fill the vacancies brought on by retirements, etc. With the recent substantial pay raises won through arbitration, along with a longevity step that would keep veteran personnel on board, there is not the mass exodus of officers to other departments on the Mainland as there was several years ago. Sure, the Seattle police department may offer more pay (not much more) along with a signing or moving bonus. And they may boast that the cost of living in the Pacific Northwest is cheaper than Hawai’i. What they don’t mention are the adverse weather conditions. They have harsh winters, with rain, sleet and snow. The rest of the time there is constant rain. For a few dollars more, who would subject themselves and their families to this environment, lose the rubber slippers, shorts and tank tops? Steven T. K.
