If pay was not an issue and you were offered a job in the field of corrections and you were also offered a job as a police officer, which would you take? Why?

Patrol....all day, every day.....
I didnt sign up to be a babysitter.......
We are required to start in custody division with my agency.....I was lucky, and only did around 22 months working the jails.....which I considered to be around 21 months 3 weeks and 4 days too longThe posts on this forum by this poster are of his personal opinion, and his personal opinion alone

Patrol, even if the pay was lower.
I don't like working inside, I like working without a supervisor standing over my shoulder, I like talking to the (very) occasional normal person.
Pretty much any inside vs. outside job, I'm going with the one that gets my outside, though.I miss you, Dave.

I started out my career in LE at a Sheriff's Office, working in the jail. There are some advantages to working in the jail, like usually getting done when you're scheduled, overtime if you want it, etc., but it's hard to cope with spending all that time in the building.
We used to have work release inmates in our jail that would be out of jail 6 days a week for 10 hours a day for "work." Sometimes I think I was doing more jail time with all the OT I put in than those guys.
Patrol, Patrol, Patrol.Wis Statute 947.01: Disorderly Conduct - Whoever, in a public or private place, engages in behavior that is violent, abusive, indecent, profane, boisterous, unreasonably loud, or otherwise acts like a ****ing idiot, is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor.

What is a 'community patrol officer'? Do you mean a police officer/street cop? The term 'community patrol officer' to describe cops, is kinda a Clinton era thing that is for the most part, dead. Similar terms is used to describe a support position in some agencies where the employee is not yet a cop, but take non-emergent/ routine/minor paperwork tasks.
