Hello everyone. As a lot of you may know the state will begin accepting applications for corrections officer this coming Tuesday. Good luck to all of you. I have been pursuing a law enforcement career in police for about 3 years now. No luck mostly because the run has been a very difficult obstacle for me to conquer. My ultimate goal is to become a policeman, but the process has been very discouraging lately. I need something to get me out of this ridiculous papermill and into the beginning of my law enforcement career.

Also Nextgen, you are correct!!! No more physical agility this time around!! It's a little disappointing that they have lower their standards imo, but they have to hire a lot of new recruits right now.
Steps are as follows:
1. Written
2. Oral
3. Backround
4. Medical Eval.

Whether you choose to conceal or not in public is your decision. CT C/O's can now finally carry OC Spray and have revamped their defensive tactics training which is a big plus.

The screwed up part was that they said he was going to receive his initial transfer about 6 months after his facility was shut down. He got jerked around instead for about 3 years with no contact or answers from administration.
Like I said NYPDAUX the corrections officers aren't certified peace officers. They receive no special treatment in obtaining a pistol permit. The whole process costs about $300 and can take about 6 months. If I am understanding you correctly.Last edited by Dcfreak; 07-22-2014, 03:42 PM.

After that he was forced to transfer Willard/Cybulski about an 1 1/2 away from our home for about 2 years until his transfer finally came through to go to the facility that was about 25 minutes from our home.

Originally posted by NYPD14AUX View PostThanks for the info again, I understand, thats similar how it is to get any kind of pistol permit here in the city. When I was in CT I saw they had a firearms training facility at the corrections academy but im guessing thats only for on duty use from the info you told me.
The C/O's do have some strings to pull when it comes to the AR-15 platform rifles though. As long as you can prove it's purpose is related to your duty you may be still be able to obtain them in 5.56mm.
