IS PCSO worth coming to?

You can find drama in ANY department, this was not the type of answer I was looking for,,,,Just wanted to know what was the ballpark figure for 10 plus yrs experience and is overtime plentiful in the jail. ....

Overtime is increasing at the jail and will be even more plentiful in the near future. With 10 years experience they might give you 3-5 steps, depending on your negotiating skills and their need for bodies.

There are 16 pay steps currently. A guy I know with similar experience started at step 5 last year. You can probably get the same deal.

Your best bet is to not worry about it and go elsewhere. This place will ruin you take some friendly advice

And what is the step 5 pay?

About $24/hr. There is an additional 10% shift differential for those working nights.

Is it true that all of patrol will be going to 12 hr shifts this year? Not having this shift before deterred me from pcso.

No. There will be 12 hour and 8 hour shifts. More 12 than 8 but still some 8 hour shifts. Most want 12's.

Buddy, asking questions here does not count as solid research. Check the agency salary listings that are publicly available. And if you don't get it writing it does not exist. Anyone could be talking to you hear. Do a ride along, ask questions, read what is available.
