As of right now Academies are the last thing many Depts are thinking of Including DOC and JJC. Staffing the jails for the foreseeable future is the main concern.

Last I heard the JJC class is suspended, start date unknown.

Corona happened, Pretty much contract negotiations are on hold.

every county is different as well as academy location.

As long as your a PBA105 member, Download the 105 app. document is found in the documents section. Upper left hand corner of the app.

Outside of a lateral Transfer to a county Sheriffs dept, NOT MUCH. It will simply give you experience and 1 year experience is just a drop in the bucket, your still a new jack.

It is a joke. In the end, it just cost us money out of pocket. P.S. Under PTC the Correctional Police Title Does NOT give you a FULL POLICE PTC. NO Lateral transfers to a PD with that cert. ONLY laterals to county sheriff's dept are possible.

this was years ago, But I received my packet with less than 2 weeks to the start of the academy. Yes a mad dash to get my uniforms.

Get used to being in the dark. If you are hired, Get used to working, Plenty of OT to be had by all.

Class is happening regardless of the start numbers. They shoot for a high starting number with hopes of getting half if not more.
