My favorite was cuffing by far. Our cuffing segments began with applying duct tape to our wrists. We also used the SW training cuff with auto release. I go heavy with restraints to this day using cuffs all I can when descretionary. Cuffs are almost magical and make my job more manageable.
Hey Brad! I’ve been wanting to become a CO for a long time now and I decided to finally apply. I’ve been binge watching your videos and I love that you kept it honest. My question for you is when you’re in academy do you have to live there or can you go home when the day is over?
For me no is wasn’t. But everyone is different. If your interested don’t be afraid of trying something. Even if you fail. Because I’m the end yull find what it is that interests you. Good luck
Rjay World the money sucks. You'll be making like $15/hr with no raises unless you get a promotion. It's too much stress, drama and politics that makes the job more trouble than its worth. Seek employment elsewhere. You should try to be a police officer. The best way to start is the florida highway patrol. They'll take you since they are desperate for officers.
Billy Peterson those raises don't really mean much. They will just make you pay more into your retirement and charge you more for your benefits. So its really back to step one.
I’m currently going through the academy next to Lowell Correctional. They increased pay to $18 an hour at the beginning of the year and I guess there’s talk of another raise here shortly. I guess sometime in June or July.
I didn't find the test hard. I did better with a male partner females complained too much. The guys thru me to the ground 😅. Been in a fight with a male inmate. He didn't win haha

Boy you are so right. I had bruises where they should not be. Had a guy for a partner. I will never forget muscle memory ☺️.
Was the test multiple choice ?
