Applying...

Hello everyone. I’m an officer from North Dakota with 6 years experience (I serve a population of about 35,000 in a suburb of ~260,000. Registered for my EOT and will be state certified November 12. Looking to apply with Hillsborough Co, Pinellas, and Manatee Co. will likely be living in Bradenton or Ruskin- I understand I need to worry about getting hired first but had a few questions to ask current/past patrol deputies.

- How long are Shifts? (Currently work 10s, but would prefer 12a)
-Overtime available?
-How is the morale?
-How long is the FTO process?
-I’m a certified DRE, drug interdiction, and Kinesic Interview certified - so looking to work a lot of traffic. Does the call volume allow this? I take my fair share of calls and have zero interest in applying with

Thank you in advance to anyone who responds!
