    Their gonna be that hard on a corrections test at the academy when’s there’s already a turn over rate with low pay? Lol that doesn’t make one bit of sense to be that hard when they can’t even keep people on board.

    • @amphion2277
      @amphion2277 Рік тому

      I think standards should def change or pay for majority of officers but a very large reason that retention for corrections is so low is due to people laterally transferring to either other corrections facilities or a patrol department

      As Brad already responded, you will be fine. I have been in Florida DOC for 14 years now, and I have worn glasses since I was 25 years old. You have zero to worry about or even think about with glasses.

      @@r2ba435 the new rule is suppose to prevent anyone from being on the compound without an FTO trainer. But these prisons do what they want. Once you sign up to be employed by FL DOC you become their property and do what they want, when they want. I was the newest ofc on my compound and was always solo in my dorm. I have 204 inmates in an open bay dorm and all the senior ofc had 2 people in smaller dorms. If you don’t have to work for them I wouldn’t but that’s just from my experience. Also be prepared to be trained that you have to treat inmates as less than human. If you treat them like humans you will be accused of any and all things possible.

Right now it would certainly be better than my current job pay and benefits wise. I was going to get into law enforcement at some point and I figured this would be a step in that direction and would look good on a future application.

      @@r2ba435 just prepare for the mandatory days…when 30 min before your shift ends you will find out you are required to stay because not enough coverage for the next shift. And no one to back you up. The white shirts never have your back. The inmates aren’t the issue, it’s the staff. Tallahassee changes their mind and what they allow every other week. I still have my certification but would never go back.

    Damn fail twice and your done that sucks.. someone failing twice doesnt subject to being a bad officer. For all they know that could have been the guy that stuck it out with the low pay. But they let a guy who has passed every test in an he doesnt even stick with it for a year.. nice video man!!!
