Originally posted by mco_popo2b View PostIs the Orlando Police Department and Orange County Sheriff's Office currenty hiring PO's and DS's?
How many positions are currently available? Do they both offer take home vehicles?
Are shifts 8, 10, or 12 hours? Do you pay into retirement or does the deparment contribute total amount?
Do both sponsor applicants thru the Academy? Do they have their own academies, or do they use outside academies? If outside academies which ones do they use?
Is turnover very high at either agency, with Officers or Deputies going to greener pastures? Or does one usually stay with the agency?
They have take homes but after you get off FTO, which is about 20 weeks. The first 6 of that 20 is classroom, hands on, tactical training. Great stuff! The next 14 weeks are riding with your FTO's.
The SO works 11.5 hr shifts, with a 2 on, 2off, 3 on, 2 off, 2 on, 3 off. Every other weekend off. The Sheriff pays 100% into your retirement and at 25yrs you can get 75%.
They can sponser you, but you better have an awesome resume and have at least a 4 yr degree, while in great physical shape. They send their recruits to Valencia Comm College for the academy (VCI).
I don't know about turnover, as I just started, but OCSO is a huge agency (1300 DS) with many avenues to broaden your experience. They have every special unit you can think of and great benefits.
Its a great place to work and everyone, Ive met treats you like family.
Good luck and PM me if you have anymore ?'s."the greatest failure is a failure to try."

I have to go with Hodges... I LOVE OCSO and all that they have done for me as a Deputy. Sure, they pay a bit less than others, but paycheck for paycheck it is about the same after other agencies take out the retirement. We are the BEST and know it. Come work with us and see!"Warning... objects in mouth are larger and sharper than they appear!"

To MCO... glad to see you "jumping in". Good luck on the process. OCSO pays extra for a bachelors and a masters degree as well as a state stipend for specific state classes (RADAR, instructor, etc.).
To aftermath... steps are pretty simple:writing test, poly (voice stress), oral board, PT, psych, medical, and BI. They are really helpful with the process and we are hiring a BUNCH over the next few months. The earlier you apply, the earlier you get processed. Good luck!"Warning... objects in mouth are larger and sharper than they appear!"

I know OCSO still is going to have an October academy and if you don't get that one there is always January."Our citizenship in the United States is our national character...Our great title is AMERICANS." - Thomas Paine

OCSO Written test
What's the written test like for the second stage of the Orange County process? I currently at this point now and am curious as to what to expect. I have my "Police Officers Exam" study guide but the lady on the phone told me it was only 45 minutes so they must not go too in depth.- J.R.

The written is actually, you watch a video of a crime that occurred earlier. You watch it and take notes. Then you write a report on it. They rate you on how well you can pay attention to details and relay that and what happened on paper.
