Just curious about how many of you guys on here went from a department of 10-15 officers and a city population of 9K, to a department of 200+ and city population of over 100K. There's a good possiblity that I'm in this situation and have wanted to work for a large agency all my career. Now it's just around the corner and I'll admit it, I'm a little nervous. Any pearls of wisdom to through my way?

To put it into perspective: current jurisdiction - fairly rich (old money), small amout of crime, draw about 700 cases per year. Perspective agency, large-urban setting, over 120,000 calls per year.

Did the opposite. Went from NW Indiana to rural Kansas. After almost 2 years I would not go back. I have the same BS that a larger area, just a lot less of it. All I have to do is look for it a little harder...

Where are you going from and to?
