Got offered a gift card to estreia or entree....which one is better?

They are both really good! Esteria is more expensive and is nicer, Entree is a little less expensive and sometimes the ambiance isn't as great. Depending on the amount of the GC, it can make sense to with either...

WOW so thats why taxes are so high! The median salary seems to be about 110k. compare that to the NYPD where the median salary is 74k http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Employer=New_York_Police_Department_%28NYPD%29/Salary
thats ridiculous considering the main job of a Lakewood cop seems to be pulling over harried kollel wives for talking on the phone, while nypd cops are doing tough police work.

Oh how I wish Lakewood cops would enforce basic safe driving laws.
I wish everyone schmoozing on the phone would get tickets.

The companies are charged by the police force and most of the money goes to the cop (not all some is left to pay for the gas and car wear and tear)

Correct, as well as they use older cars which are "retired" but still have some life left in them.

I agree, but if they would there would be a riot and all the people that think they are above the law would be saying "all the cops are anti-semites"

I think the cops are anti-semites, so they don't mind if Jews kill each other. /s

any idea what the starting pay is?

Quote from: lfas25 on May 05, 2015, 11:51:00 PM

Not very high, iirc during training mid 20's or low 30's, and upper 30's / low 40's once you finish training. But that is not counting any overtime and government benefits.

Quote from: Yehuda25 on May 06, 2015, 12:17:31 AM

so thats why no one frum in lakewood is a cop, and its on the books

The strating pay is 52 BEFORE training. 56 during 60 after and aftrr five years 72

HA!! you wish that was their main job. First of all, I don't understand why you think that is an issue, as it is dangerous and illegal. Second if that's all they did there would be a ton more tickets being issued as well for not stopping at stop signs and missing headlights brake lights etc
Third - if you actually knew the amount of crime that goes on in Lakewood you would obviously be shocked, there are many "national" gang members in Lakewood as well as drug crime and violence.
Fourth - those are not base salaries, a large chunk of it is from road jobs, and after work security (like shoprite had an officer there every night), which gets paid by the construction company / store but it goes through the department so it's part of their final income.

When you do that you see what happens in NYPD, there are many corrupt officers as you need more money to live on.

On a side note, how often do you hear about NYPD officers doing what Lakewood cops do for the Jewish community, from helping people that are stuck on the Parkway Friday night (because you didn't think to leave enough time to get to Lakewood before Shabbos started), to buying families formula or diapers Friday night because you ran out, to turning a light on / off for you?
Lakewood cops as a general rule are very lenient with the Jewish community in regards to motor vehicle violations.

Correct. Those cars sit in the parking lot and are used by construction sites. And the cops usually are in a nearby deli not in the car. So its just a deterrent to make ppl more careful

Eat in? Probably none.
Unless you want dairy (but they are not nice).
