ALL depends on how politically connected you are. I know some that had zero prior law enforcement experience and they did not even spend 6 months in patrol section before being transferred to a specialty unit. I also know that one of them got promoted to Corporal several years later and unbelievably returned to the patrol section as a street supervisor :shock:

Does having a Security Clearance (i.e. Secret, Top Secret...) make any difference in the Sheriff Department? Does the HCSO offer language pay for reading, writing and speaking Spanish? What areas are tested on the CJBAT?

Having a clearance makes no difference.... I said I have a TS//SCI and they said they don't care. If you can speak another language they do offer incentive pay.

I've applied and passed EVERY test that's required for the pre-hire. Yes, poly, PAA, and all. My detective emailed me saying my packet is in the Cols office for selection. Can someone please tell me how long does it take for the selection? ...on average. My detective love to tell me "a while" or "be patient, might be soon". It's been like 2mths, closing in on 3 I believe.

It took me almost a year from start to finish. I'm told things are faster now, but don't get impatient and don't post stuff on this website since it will be held against you. Get hired first.
