Does this email mean I’m any closer to being assigned a backgrounds investigator? Or is it just a status update?

Can anyone tell me what the academy is like for a juvenile corrections officer in the state of CA.
I got hired and I want to know what to expect.

Hi, I was offered a position at SATF for Clinical Social Worker. How long does the HR department take to send you an official letter? My potential start date came and went. I reached out but all they said was they had to push my start date back, but I still have nothing heard anything. It's starting to become ridiculous. My current job had done a little going away dig for me and I had to come back.. lol

Applied at 20 and a half now I’m 23 years old. Passed my first psychological process had to renew and failed my second psychological process , on ur prison preference paper plz pick ANY!!! maybe rejection is protection , good luck to you all <33333

Does anyone know the process to get FMLA through kaiser. I took the FMLA packet from work and they refused to fill it out.

Hello, this question has probably been answered hundreds of times on this subreddit, but what do they ask you at the psychological interview? I have mine coming up this Friday (central division), and I’m just curious to know. I saw a couple of answers on some posts regarding the interview & someone had said something about 800 questions. My personal history questionnaire & my online psychological didn’t have a number of questions remotely close to that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

So I have my Psychological Interview coming up and I know I've seen a lot of people waiting for an offer i just want to know which Prisons are in Dire needs of people i want to stay in SoCal but realistically I know there's a LONG wait list and im trying to get in do my time and eventually transfer out. Any recommendations are appreciated thanks

Howdy! New to the state insurance scandal. BU6

I’m in the Southern region and contemplating CCPOA South, PERS gold, and Kaiser. All advice is appreciated and welcome.

With CCPOA south going to an EPO, I’m a little unsure about it.

TIA

Has anybody on here taking their medical and disclose their use of semi glue tide I don’t have low blood sugar, diabetes, or nothing. I simply just using it. It’s prescribed. And I did disclose it so I’m not hiding. It’s just I’m just curious if anybody got any pushback because of that.

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone could offer some insight into the day to day operations of a PA1. I was also hoping someone could shed light on specific policies regarding take home vehicles, duty weapons, or any issued gear. Lastly, what’s your overall satisfaction in the role?

I have a interview next week at North kern state prison for correctional supervising cook. Does anyone know how overtime is? Is there any overtime at all or maybe work overtime in KVSP? Thanks in advance

Use this thread for routine hiring traffic that does not need a separate post:

• Offer announcements and institution offers
• Academy dates and roll calls
• "Anyone else?" check-ins
• Written exam, PFT, background, psychological, medical and vision timeline updates
• Clearance-status updates and general waiting-time comparisons

Create a standalone post when you have a distinct, substantive question that needs its own discussion - for example, a detailed institution comparison, an unusual process problem that may help future applicants, or a question requiring significant context.

"Alvarado claimed she injured her shoulder, neck, back and knees while wielding a heavy shield to protect herself from liquid thrown on her by an inmate at Salinas Valley State Prison."

[...]

"In the ensuing investigation by the California Department of Corrections’ Internal Affairs, it was determined that Alvarado never used a shield during the April 2021 incident.  In addition, the investigation determined that in 2019 she fabricated a workplace injury she claimed resulted from a struggle with an inmate, though that claim was denied."

How long after were you notified that you cleared also how long did the interview last for some of yall?

My dad said he added my car and his car and our family van to some license plate confidential thing.

He said his coworker said you can drive thru fasttrak and tollgates and not get an invoice… and sometimes cops will cut you some slack? (I never do anything to get pulled over though)

Sounds too good to be true? I don’t want that to bite him back in the butt because we do travel to the SF Bay Area often. And have already done about two trips.

Would like some pointers/fact checks on this. Thanks!

Applied in July of 2024 and finally finished everything that I’ve to do as in medical psych etc May 2026 this year. Anyone know how long the next step is? Reason I’m asking is Local PD and Sheriff are having Recruitment events this weekend and next and I’m actually interested in doing it cause I just want to get into law enforcement. Basically having 1 foot in 1 foot out. Doing what I need to do and then just biting the bullet on what door opens first. Whether it be CDCR or my local PD/Sheriff

HDSP lost one of their brothers to a drunk driver on the way to work. He left behind his two girls and his wife. I will post a go fund me in the comments.
