Many of my family members, (including me, and my husband) have/had careers within law enforcement. It is an honorable, and selfless career choice, and is not meant for everyone. With all the bad in the world, there's still so much good, and I truly enjoyed my career, and serving my community.
Law enforcement, (In all aspects of the job) has a gotten a bad reputation, due to a few bad apples. This is unfortunate, but
with this being said, there are individuals out there that are still interested in this line of work. My son being one of them. It comes as no surprise that he is following in our footsteps, and wants to make a positive difference.
Choosing a career with the Florida Department of Corrections is an honorable way to serve the community. There is a lot of physical, and mental training that takes place before you can receive a badge, and it all begins in the academy.
I was surprised that this training facility was in town, next to a large park, and housing community. In California, our paramilitary training facility was secluded, and away from civilization. This facility appears more welcoming, and everyone you come in contact with is very hospitable, and professional. You'd never know by looking at it, that this facility is creating many future leaders, until you see the cadets out in formation, or walking around the building. There is an immense amount of education, and detailed training that each person is receiving here. It's an excellent choice to start your career with this department. I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in a rewarding career. read more
