I've applied for two corrections officer positions with different departments in the area, however I know that my main focus is to ultimately become a sworn police officer.
I feel like if/when I interview for a corrections position, I'll seem like I'm not dedicated/serious about the job if it's not what I want to do until I retire and therefore will make it likely that they'll pass me over. I really want the experience and think it would give me a more solid background for becoming a police officer. I figure I'll spend 2-3 years in corrections before moving on (but of course these numbers are tentative).
Any advice or input?
