To all,
I would like to ask some advice of those that are active in the law enforcement community on some upcoming career choices that I have to make in the near future. First, some background on myself. I am 32, 10 years ex-military with a BS from my local college. I have a medical issue that has me taking a perscription daily but is totaly under control with no side effects but prevents me from rejoining the military. I would like to take advantage of the current hiring going on with LVMPD but am not ready physically or financially ready to apply with any hope of approval. However, the local sheriffs department is hiring corrections officers and after talking with thier recruiter, they say I have an above average chance of being hired. My question is, should I take the corrections job and see about transferring later or should I hold off and wait untill im ready for LVMPD? I pretty much have my heart set on working for metro as I love the town and have lots of family there. I hate what I am doing for a living now and would like to get into law enforcement anyway that I can so I can have a career and not just a job.
Thank you in advance for any responses!
