Ex-HPD officer have gone on to distinguish themselves in other organizations.  Some may work for a federal agency or may have gone on to many other jobs in various employment positions.  HPD does not define a person.  It does not require a employee service contract, a non compete clause, and there is no signing bonus.  One works until he decided to seek other employment or gets another job.  Working to get 25 years of service and retirement at 55 years of age is not happening.  Those days are gone and people want lives that may be more suitable to travel and economic opportunities,  Forty three thousand  for recruitment to be spread around to 11 officers is not really that impressive.  Now, a $43,000 bonus per officer over and above one yearly salary...that's interesting.
