if your willing to relocate, go south or west, what ever you do dont come up to mass. this whole area is really hard to get a job in LE.

Since you live in Philly area, I saw that Montgomery Twp. in Montgomery County is hiring. If you don't already know where that is, it's by Lansdale/Hatfield/North Wales area.
