Hiring Update

[Unregistered]

Can anyone give some ideas on how fast the hiring and training of the new security officers is going? I work for a city that’s assigning us to schools but will not communicate any information to us. They most likely don’t have a clue, so we’re hoping someone there might know a realistic duration of this assignment. Thank you.

I believe the 1st class of recruits starts in a week or two. Almost 200 officers have to be hired so they are trying to move quickly.

What's the starting pay?

The 1st class of recruits graduated Thursday and started in their schools on Friday. I don't know how many there were or when the next class graduates. The training is about 2 months long so it takes a little while from start to finish.

Any of the Hillsborough School Officers have any imput on this position. Their website is extremely vague re information on the job or benefits. Is it mostly a M-F day job or is it 24/7. Is is a good job for retired law enforcement officers. The pay isn’t that great but if it was a good work schedule it’s something that interests me. Thank you

The schedule depends on the Officer’s assignment. Some officers work m-f at a school, some officers work at school board buildings, and some officers are on patrol. Patrol is obviously 24/7 which breaks down into a patrol officer working 4 10 hour shifts. Benefits are decent. The job is very good for retired Leo’s. There is a lot of retired leos and military.

I applied about a month ago for the position, I haven’t heard anything back. I believe I applied correct although the site appeared more geared towards teachers and administrators. One thing I didn’t do was include my college transcripts, I graduated 35 years ago, I was hoping my 30 years in local and federal law enforcement would have at least gotten me an interview. Maybe there is more competition for a job that pays less than $20 an hour than I expected.

You are coming in on the back end of the hiring spree. I don’t know if you live in Florida or not, but last year the governor passed a bill requiring a officer in every school. Prior to the hiring spree it took people six months to a year to get hired. So beings you are applying late, it will probably take some time to hear something back.

I’m also interested in this job. Hard to find out what it pays however. What is the hourly rate and schedule? Is it 8 hour days with school breaks and summer off? The application asks for a lot of information but doesn’t give much in return. Thanks for any info, I just don’t want to waste my time applying if this pays like $18 an hour.

Website shows it starts off between $17-19 an hour. So yes you’re wasting your time! Try security at one of the Westfield malls😆
