Voluntary Separation from DOC, want to return less than 4 years

[skyloesco]

I was a certified correctional probation officer and worked for the department of corrections for 1.8 years. I left to pursue a job overseas under a three year contract. My work contract is up in March 2022, so I'm looking to return to the States and rejoin the department and complete a relevant EOT. But I'm afraid they might have revoked my certification because I left voluntarily before the two years requirement. Florida Statute states you can complete a EOT and rejoin if FDLE approves after four years away from the department. But there's no mention of reemployment before the four years. July 2022 would be exactly three years of separation from the department for me. Anyone have any experience or insight to this?

What does the agency say? They have to hire you.

I just applied this month and hoped for the best. I'm trying to figure if I'll owe money for the academy or something before they hire me so I can start to prepare.

So they trained and hired you on a two year contract / agreement, which you broke, and you're hoping they'll take you back?

Classic. Then he’ll get mad when they tell him to pound sand.

as desperate as FLDOC is, they will probably take him

They are short handed and need CO's

They will probably re-hire you & make you go back through certification

Yes, that is what I stated in the OP. I wasn't turning down the opportunity. It was once in a lifetime. I'm just looking to come back. It's not life or death. I'm just looking for answers.

That's what I'm thinking. I'll reach out to some old management and see if I can get an answer. But I agree that the department is severely understaffed.

I think the odds are in my favor lmfao, but thanks!

Fortunately the odds are very much in your favor, good luck.

I’m not supporting you. You failed the agency and ripped off the taxpayers. You are a poor candidate.

I got rehired. Tax payers should be complaining about a myriad of other things if that's the argument we're going with.

And I’m sure you’ll be leaving again soon…
