I’m curious if they pay for cross over training, or how it would work if your a certified correctional officer and your interested in becoming a deputy. I’ve already been through the academy at Santa Rosa… but, I know that there are additional courses I must take and a different type of certification. Any ideas?

The “academy” they will attend is George Stone Criminal Justice Training Center. At the request of Escambia county sheriff office, we have agreed to put on a full day (8) hour academy Monday through Friday and some weekends. Usually there is an application process and a selection process in order to be allowed in a law enforcement academy class. The big difference here, other than the hours, is these candidates have already gone through the initial background check. We have not offered this in the past except for a corrections academy.

I applied and I really hope I get hired. I have EMS training and experience and extrication training and experience. I think I could make a huge difference in the community!!

Sounds like a great opportunity, I wish they had offered this ten years ago! I would have jumped on it them, but now at 36 and with a family to support (and a stable full time job)… oh well. Good luck to the candidates that make it through the selection process!

Actually some agencies will hire under 21. Firearms has nothing to do with it.. Its all in the standards set forth by the agency.

I wish they wouldn’t have put an age limit on it. My cousin is 19 and she would be the perfect candidate for this, and she cannot afford the training on her own. As long as she is 18 and graduated highschool, why should they care?
