Good evening,

I am currently looking to apply for a sworn in position at HCSO. I did 4 years in the Marines and currently work for the "well-known" company C.I.S. I do not like the wages here and have quickly learned that there is not much of a career path with security. I have recently decided that it's time I hop onto a different path and just go sworn in.

My reason for this posting is as follows: LEO Trainee or Detention Deputy Trainee? I work out at Big Bend TECO and run into HCSO LEO's quite often and get told that Detention Deputy is terrible. Is there anyone here to back that up? Is there much of a path to be taken if I do make the cut and decide to take Detention Deputy? As I learned from my time in the Marines, I want to make sure this time that I don't get stuck doing a job that is highly unenjoyable. Now, I'm not saying that either or will be fully enjoyable, as I know that everything has its down-side. Really, I just want some input from LEO's and Det. Deputies.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this and stay safe out there.
