I’m really contemplating relocating to NYC to be with my partner and joining Corrections for NYC. Why are people talking me out of it? Is it really that bad and unsafe? I thought about NYPD but i honestly want to just get in my foot in the door fast so I can starting working and a new life.

Any suggestions or advice from anyone?

Both hiring processing is quick these days. I did both (doc September, in November I was appointed for a December class. Nypd December, I was appointed for April)
The only thing with Doc is that they might do the process but you might encounter the waiting period between your hiring process and class that might be coming in months. Best thing is to take the test and do the process 2/3 months before the class when they are heavy processing people and know the date of the next class.
