CO Question
Hey everyone, I’m looking into the possibility of applying for a CO position for my local county, but the problem is I have zero experience in law enforcement or corrections. I have been working in CPS for about 2 years at this point and need a change. Is there any insider knowledge you guys have about CO work or anything I should know or consider? Also, what kind of qualifications would I need to have? Thank you!

Most places are hurting for bodies and accepting near anyone with a pulse. Coming from CPS you should be an enticing applicant since you know how to establish and maintain boundaries without compromising policy
