It took 3 years to hire anyone off the '09 test, and even then it wasn't very many people at all. Things may change next year, but for now many people are waiting around for classes.

This question may have been addressed already somewhere along the way in this forum but I don't want to try searching 134 pages to find it. I am currently on the eligible list as many of you that read this forum are aware. Myself personally, I don't care much for firearms as a hobby but I do acknowledge their necessity in LEO positions. That being said this year I got my pistol license for the sole purpose of familiarity. I attained the license in June and purchased a firearm shortly after. I have not even yet chambered a round as I'm waiting for a Corrections Officer friend of mine to go to the range to show me the proper way to handle it and the nomenclature. I'm very big on my belief that any idiot can fire a gun but I'd like to know the right way. I want to know the gun inside and out. If I do in fact get hired I didn't want my first day on the range to be my first day getting aquainted to a firearm. Anyways, Getting to my point. I purchased a Glock 19. I was told by a friend that this is what the Court Officers carry however I was just recently told something different. Can anyone, maybe some of the vets shed some light on this? Do they in fact carry the Glock 19? Do they carry whatever they qualify with? Do they have choices? Thanks in advance for the info.

I am not a court officer but I remember reading that court officer's qualify with and carry a Glock 19. It is a 9mm pistol with minimal safety features. I am not sure if they are allowed to carry another firearms, but I am guessing they are when tasked with special duties (SRT,MRP). Also some Veteran officer are allowed to choose between the original .38 revolver, or the Glock 19. I read that there is a certain trigger pull that is required to add to the pistol. It changes the force needed to squeeze the trigger, usually measured in pounds... Again I am not an officer, just hoping4it like you.
On another have you, or anybody else heard any rumors of academies in the near future. I know that they have continued to process people, and been putting new people in the ready to hire pool.
Hoping4it what was your score and how long have you been cleared for?

Doesn't matter whether you've ever shot the gun or not. The instructors will treat everyone as if they've never seen a Glock before. The range officers will teach you how the job wants you to handle the firearm. Of course if you bought the Glock without being on the job you got 10 round magazines. As a Court Officer you are to carry 15 round mags. Hope you can find someone to sell them to you. The Glock you would carry as a Court Officer has a different trigger pull than the civilian version called the New York trigger. Go shooting with your buddy, but rember the range officers will drill their methods into you.
