Having run security in another POA in another state let me share with you. Most of the community patrol cannot afford to MAKE MORE MONEY. 80% are supplementing their income or plainly just making extra money. We were offered a wage hike where I worked in South Carolina and we all turned it down. It was beer and fun money.
Now if there are folks working with community patrol who have moved here and took a hit in a market etc and NEED the money badly..... They can go get a job outside of the villages. Or better yet pull up and hand the guard a 100.00 bill once a month. Have at it...... Oh yes. I have done just that for one worker who had a death in the family. Cash
