I've started talking to a Training Lieutenant with a Sheriff's Office close to me. He's informed me that the gateway position to have with his agency is Detention, and there you can progress to Patrol.
I have no gripes about starting off in Detentions, in fact I feel like it will be beneficial to know both sides of the agency in the long run. But I'm curious as to how likely it would be to progress from Detentions to Patrol. Has anyone here started off in the jails? How competitive was it to get a position with patrol?
