Preface
This quarter's Employee Satisfaction Survey is now closed, a total of 32 responses were submitted and gave us a wide range of opinions and feedback. We would like to thank everyone who submitted a response for taking the time to do so, here are some of the feedback given to us and our thoughts about them.
Names may have been removed, but responses have not been edited in any other way. Spelling and grammar is exactly the same as how responses have been submitted.
Some additional commentary has been added by the Deputy Chief of Department to some responses. All pieces of feedback have been reviewed and made available to the command teams.
Rank
How likely are you to recommend joining PLPD to a friend or new player?
- I feel like the plpd is a fun and exciting job.
- PD command feels more stricter than when I started.
- Because the PLPD is one of the most fun in RP that you can have in Perp
- Not enough attention to newer players learning and trying to rank up within the department.
- I'll give it a 5 because I seem like everytime a friend of mine or a new player first starts no one wants to help them with things and to teach about the laws and policys.
- Its a great place to learn
- Being an officer at times may be a stressful experience but in the end it is really rewarding. I have recommended joining the department to a couple of friends which ended up joining the force.
- If they're the type to take it at least a bit seriously then I'd have no issue recommending the PD to them!
- It's pretty fun
In the last seven days, I have received recognition or praise for doing good work.
- I have gotten a lot of compliments after situations for good work so I feel like a lot of people have improved on this. Another thing is I have gotten or’s for good work which inspires me to go for a higher rank.
- Got an OR right after getting CPL and also people have been congratulating me and telling me that I deserve it.
- There's some parts from command members say I'm doing a good job. Sometimes I get told from other say I'm not doing good as an officer.
- Aside from officer of the month, there isn't much reward for good performance for non command members.
- I’m never told i’ve done something good or right, people only tell me the negatives.
- I work very proactively with a number of my colleagues and my Commanding Officer especially is always very supportive and always gives us a pat on the back for good work.
I have the materials such as guides, policies and procedures to do my job well.
- I feel like the handbooks are easy to understand and can help all officers improve.
- Everything i need to know is on the PLPD handbook
- When I became SO I was a bit confused. I did not know what new responsibilities I had, the new equipment nor the new features on my police computer.
- The guides can range from either helpful or something that'll get you killed on the server.
- I have the amount of recourses i need.
- I think all of the aforementioned resources can be ever-developed and shaped to fit the evolving Police Department but I always have what I need to do my job and if I do not then I can create it.
Supervisors provide me with the support I need to complete my work.
- Supervisors tell us what we are doing right or wrong and helps us correct ourselves and become better officers
- Supervisors if online become available for supervisor calls which is great, but, the lack of opportunities to get ORs or to have feedback on a daily basis without OR sittings are lose to nonexistent
- when constantly asking for help in gov chat for a OR or further assistance/field training normally there is no response or "too busy"
- I always try to take supervisor sits when Im not busy and whenever I need help I always ask another supervisor for hes opinion aswell.
- Instead of punishing you over any minor mistake they explain what you did wrong and how to improve and they are just wonderful people in general which really helps.
- Shoutout to the cpts and staff sgts here, both ranks have been spectacular the last month
Help is available from the PLPD when I have a problem.
- Helpdesk and other officers have been a huge help to me throughout my journey
- In an IA that was filed, it was in my favor based on my tuition to act lawfully, which reflects the understanding of PLPD to tricky situations..
- There's sometimes I ask for help in the PLPD but mainly the time I do ask for help I get ignored and have to figure stuff out on my own.
- I could say 50 50. Usually when i ask a question on the dashboard someone answers.
- Yes you can always ask other officers, but I haven’t used the helpdesk much so I can’t comment on that.
- It is only sometimes, that sometimes for me is incredibly rare though.
Are you proud to be a member of the PLPD?
- Being a pistol cop makes me feel like cannon fodder, not a officer of the law.
- I love the PD I main PD and I absolutely love everyone I met on PD and they are amazing friends
- Yes im very proud to be a part of the PLPD I have very fun moments and everyone always is super chill when we raid etc etc.
- Im very happy to part of the PLPD comnuity and im usually having a great time both with officers and civilians
- The PD is regularly demonised by members of the community.
- Recent events have made my views on PLPD Differ, Do not feel as welcomed!
- Its ok I guess. Some officers are just rude so we get bad rep, but you can’t blame them. It’s a stressful job and people sometimes get annoying.
- Undoubtedly.
My opinions seem to count.
- we give our opinions and get to choose the outcomes of situations and we get listened to
- Senior management will easily run you down and many issues has persisted since 2018 despite many feedbacks I’ve seen from others that aligns with mine, throughout the years I’ve been a member.
- If you mean supervisor sits then its a 10. If its something else then I dont think so.
- Well this survey is the first time i’m actually expressing my opinion about the PLPD and I really hope my opinion counts here.
- I am in a position where I have a voice in lots of issues pertaining to my department and I always feel like I am listened to and have a real say.
- Everyone listened to my advice when we were filming the RTU videos despite me being a nobody in the PD
What’s the best thing that has happened to you in the PLPD these past 3 months?
- Getting good OR’s and being able to apply for cpr.
- Passing my stage 2 CPL and getting back in the PD
- I was denied for my SO application as I had an ongoing IA, which truly bummed me out. I made a helpdesk as I later found out the IA didn’t go anywhere as I expected, but the one who replied was not interested in reviewing the response to my SO application. Axel Keen (something along those lines, CPL) supported me all throughout and reached out to JackFieldings who overturned it all, which I think was a moment I felt grateful for some individuals interest of others.
- I got CPL and SGT
- New command members
- The patrols with other officer's, and the general niceness of other officer(s).
- Probablly doing good on work such as good spikes on pursuits or doing good in shootouts. Other than that getting along with orher members of the PLPD
- i am new so the best is i shot a robber
- It's either becoming an officer for the first time or that promotion to senior officer.
- Mastering dispatch and starting to do probationary test sessions and teaching
- I was a Traffic Trainer and enjoyed my position but got removed from it.
- It absolutely has to be taking on a command role within my primary division.
Most days I receive feedback from my Supervisors and coworkers about my performance.
- My supervisors are amazing people and they help with everything if we ask for it including other coworkers
- Never been recognized for my work
- i do get feedback from supervisors on how improve myself just not people who aren't supervisors.
- I never get feedback on my performance, apart from OR's.
- Yes, they always correct you if you’re wrong and are always nice about it.
- It's less, "wow you did a great job!" and more "wow. these fucking criminals amirite?" I prefer it that way.
- This is a tough one to answer but I've gone with absolutely because as a team we are critical of each other when needed and that makes for a constructive workplace.
If you had a magic wand, what's the one thing you would change about PLPD?
- Giving a semi-auto rifle to Sgt+ to use when responding and when no TFU are on
- Have a strand in the Patrol Management where Lieutenant position and above becomes available to those passionate about patrolling, and not paperwork etc.
- Give CPL/SGT more equipment gun choices etc.
- Audi RS4 for TFU
- How divisions deal with the after affect of there Members/Colleagues receiving infractions.
- fix up the handbook to have basically all the info cops will need, probably even include relevant parts of the server rules
Is there anything else on your mind which you'd like to tell us?
- Road spiking taxis would be a good addition to add
- Hope you have a good day and hope you are heaving the greatest time here on perpheads and the PLPD
- I feel like divisions are too harsh on there Colleagues after they have received infractions. Instead of giving help and support its more of an additional punishment
- Please advertise these better, I had no idea this was happening until I heard someone talking about it
