I live in the area and I originally tried getting hired by those agencies a while ago. Also went to the academy with some guys from Oceanside and Escondido.
Escondido - take home rides, getting a new station, top three in pay in the county, large hispanic population, has a lot of specialty assignments for a smaller department, pretty good reputation, just hired a lot of laterals lately
Oceanside - third largest city and PD in the county, used to be the worst paid in the county now in the top three (base pay is number one I believe as of January), samoan/black/hispanic gang problems, PD seems to have the support of the mayor/council (mayor is former PD),lot of ex-military in the PD, had a hard time retaining officers because of the pay issues (should not be an issue now though), had some recent discrimination lawsuits at the PD but a lot of good people working there
Thats it off the top of my head......
