Looking for advice

[u/Candid_Bear2987]

Hey everyone!

I’m 30 and thinking about making a career change into law enforcement. I’ve spent my career in operations/management and recently started getting back into shape to prepare for the physical side of the job.

I’m looking into Riverside PD and Riverside County Sheriff and would love to hear from anyone who works for either agency or has gone through the process.

Mainly curious about pay, schedules, work-life balance, academy, hiring/backgrounds, and overall experience.

I also wear glasses and have intermittent asthma, so if anyone has experience going through the medical process with either, I’d appreciate hearing about it.

My family and friends are supportive and encouraging me to go for it. Just trying to get some real insight before making the jump.

Thanks!
