I have been interested in getting into the DOC side of things for sometime now. What is some advise you would give a LEO who is interested in making the change? What type of attitude should one have in order to survive? What should I do to see if I am the type of person that would make a good CO? I am tired of somethings that LEO's have to dial with on a day to day basis. What are some of the pro’s and con’s of the switch from LEO to DOC? I really would like to know what I’m getting into before I go through all the stress of a new job and leaving the old. Any former LEO’s who made the switch? If so how do you like it? 1 Definite pro is the pay raise I would be getting. 5 yr vet LEO = 21,000 without OT. OT=2,000+ Starting CO pay in Missouri I believe is 23,000 depending on facility. |
