I have some acquaintances who work for SLED. For the most part they seem very professional and above board. A lot of their investigations involve IT and IT forensics. Valuable tools in fight against child predation and human trafficking. The problem they have is retaining good people. The pay is no where comparable to the private sector.
For what they do, it is sad that the pay is comical.
I’ve been a state employee and know how it goes.
