Just got the call from IDOC to start the academy in january, just wondering what im getting myself into, how the job is, and what we actually do on a regular basis, i watch the show lockup, but im sure that is only some of it, i come from an army background, wondering if it is somewhat the same

Any input is appreciated

Anyone know if they will be hiring for the treatment officer position soon? From reading the comments seems like only regular co going to academy right now

Gongrats. Tell Sgt Green that He needs to send Ford a facebook request! And Sgt Anderson that Illinois River Says he is #1!

pay periods are the 1st and the 15th. if you start in between pay periods you will not get paid until the next full pay cycle. So I went through April 8th and didnt get my first check until April 30th

Does anyone know how soon you wait to receive your first check in the academy?, is it two weeks from your start date?

J1996 they emailed me only because my contact number failed. But they did attempt a call first

Cruz1997 Training is Aug 5, someone is going to contact me for orientation, where I fill out paperwork, etc. I’m surprised it was that quick, I changed my facility location when I tested., only because the officer told us, Pontiac needs officers bad. They need 1 officer for every 4 inmates.

[Cruz1997]

Kyoung nice man ! I emailed and said they were still processing and would sent notification once finalized , what did they tell you ??

[Kyoung]

Cruz1997, they are moving fast for Pontiac., I tested May 31, they called me today with an offer!
