Good lord it's been a LONG time since I logged on here. I took my area's (Jefferson County Alabama) civil service exam and got a call from the Jefferson County Sheriffs Office. So far I have passed my physical agility test, went for the interview, polygraph, and psychological tests. The only thing I have left is a physical tomorrow. I don't know why, but I am more nervous about it than I have been about anything else. I guess it is because I am getting down to the final stages and I am getting anxious about starting a new job.
Just a little background on me, I have been in law enforcement for nearly 7 years, working for a small department as a dispatcher/corrections officer. I have been lucky enough to work around a seasoned group of officers, so, even though I am still young, I sort of have that "old head" mentality. This will be my first job as a sworn officer, if I get it, but I have been a reserve officer for the past 3 or 4 years.
Say a little prayer for me and I will let you guys know how things turn out.

Strange... I'm a reserve in AL as well, and I wasn't aware of any reserve positions in AL that were NON-SWORN positions? What exactly have you done in your "reserve" position?

I guess I should have worded that better. This will be my first paid sworn job. Sorry for the confusion. Originally Posted by ROS

Good lord, my head is spinning. I went for my physical this morning, and this afternoon they called me and OFFERED ME THE JOB!!! I start March 20th. I could have started sooner, but I wanted to give my current job an adequate notice.

How long do you have to work as a jailer for Jefferson county before you can go to the academy? Originally Posted by WarriorReserve

CORRECTION: If hired, you go to the academy (well, you may have to wait for the next academy date, but you still go to the academy "first"), THEN become a correctional deputy (last I heard the average was for 3 - 4 years), THEN roll out to patrol. Originally Posted by troysig
