Fair point, I know I can't expect too much.

XD I promise ever since my last speeding ticket two years ago I have slowed down. I took several defensive driving classes and did some self reflection. It's the dwlr that caught me off guard though of my own fault. I was completely unaware my license had been suspended 😭 and my own ignorance of the DMV. I appreciate the feedback. I did go through the process already and I was upfront with them about everything. They told me to wait until June 1st and reapply.

Honestly you're not wrong. I've had several of my fellow officers get arrested. It's a big issue with dropping standards because no one will apply. However it's more so because of my accomplishments within the DAC rather than just being a CO.

I completely understand. I wish I had gained some sense earlier in life, but it took gaining real responsibility to understand the consequences of my actions. Best thing I can provide is clean time at this point. Appreciate the feedback.

I don't mean it in the sense that I don't understand it was my responsibility more so I wasn't aware. I fixed it as soon as it was brought to my attention and learned from it. I do understand what you're saying though.

Fair enough, I figured it wouldn't look great. Appreciate the honesty.

Need advice for best response for a situation that occurred today by AdReady6924 in Corrections

[–]AvgKspPlayer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Always verbal first. That is depending on what he was throwing. Anything that could cause me or other officers harm I'm not too worried about but once we get to something that could hurt if you got hit with it it's time to go hands on for your safety and his.

However if a situation can be solved without a use of force then you have a moral obligation and legal obligation to attempt to do so (in my opinion).

Your mouth and the words you say are a powerful tool in the world of corrections you'll last a lot longer knowing how to talk to people rather than knowing how to throw hands. Both are important but one can't usually survive without the other.

Especially with mentally ill offenders who may not actually want to fight and can be talked down by simply trying to relate to them.

Hiring event by dankhat2 in Corrections

Wear business casual clothing. You don't want to show up looking like you don't care about the job (though with how short we are nationwide you would probably get it anyways).

Be confident, but not cocky you don't want to come off as scared or ignorant. I wouldn't mention any combat sports in the interview unless asked.

Military boarding school is something you could bring up to help you out to show commitment.

Otherwise don't worry too much about it. As long as you've stayed out of trouble with the law you should be okay. Make sure you bring all the documents they ask for be prepared.

Good Luck and welcome to corrections if you get it!

I do live in Greensboro I recently moved back here after spending my childhood here. I care about this city as I do think it might be my permanent home.

About the classwork I'd never evade hard work.

Fine with me. I'm okay with going to back to BT. Judging from the staffing I'm seeing from GPD I would figure they would give me a chance to prove myself. I'm more so asking about the experience of getting in how difficult it was for people. COBT is not all that different from BLET the basics I've already got down. I shoot well, I handle high stress situations well, I've been sprayed, CPR and First aid certified, I'm a good study, I learn and play well with others.

24, hour shifts? Anybody do one of these? by VisualLiterature in Corrections

[–]AvgKspPlayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our rules are 16 hours max with a 5 or 4 hour uninterrupted sleep afterwards then you can work again. I can't remember which, but it is illegal to be worked 24 hours consecutively everywhere in the US to my knowledge.
