BUNCH OF TRUMPERS ON JOBSTR. EVERYONE ON HERE IS TRUMPERS YAY

Asked by YAY almost 4 years ago

Not exactly a question, and not on topic.

I don’t think PRIVATE CITIZENS should have public records it sets people up for people to take it and misuse it. People who need the information should have a process of getting it not just have everything about you online unless YOU publish it. Absurd

Asked by Xnxn over 5 years ago

I don't publish anything. Also by law, public records are available to the public. That is why they are public records. A police blotter is a public record. You can walk in off the street and see it. You don't even need a reason. Same thing with a police watch record, or mug shots. Same thing with who is in custody at any given time, as long as they are adults. If you object to that, you should contact your legislators and have the law changed.

So you wanna be a Correctional Officer??

Check our Jobstr's career page for salary information, educational requirements, suggested reading and more!!

how often do you have to have physical, mental, and firearms proficiency testing?

Asked by blue tiger about 5 years ago

Never, as I am long retired. Firearms qualifications were either once per year or four times per year depending on job assignment. (I DO have to qualify to maintain my retired carry status.) When I retired, 15+ years ago, there was no specified ongoing physical or mental testing.

If you had to do it over again would you have been a Correctional Officer?

Asked by Neal Bracken over 4 years ago

Now, maybe not. Back then (1980) yes. The politics have changed the job to the point I am not sure I would like the job today.

Do inmates celebrate Christmas?

Asked by Andy over 5 years ago

The Christian ones do. The Muslims and Jews, not so much. Pagans celebrate the Winter Solstice which happens near Christmas, but not right on Christmas.
