Bop House Erome Newly U #763

First bop does not have an academy You attend the intro to corrections course at glynco and it is only 3 weeks long Bop employees can carry off duty if they qualified each year on the range but must follow local carry laws as far as i know They are considered federal leo but have limited arrest powers. Bop use to issue the creds that said leo for retired staff only and they changed that to everyone about 2 years ago right when the 2013 update took place Can't speak for the other agencies. The issue with bop is thwre are 122 institutions and 180 different ways and thats not because of sexuriry level At any usp housin units have 2 staff per howevwr this wasnt standard until. Bop trains their people to be correctional workers, not law enforcement officers I’ve seen bop creds, and you don’t need anything more than that Try to make an arrest The bad thing was that the bop had me working on the job for nearly 4 months before sending me to fletc to get trained The other bad thing is that the training we received. Thanks i did have prior law enforcement experience before applying with the bop (1.5 years reserve deputy and 6 months state corrections), however the experience isn't. Getting into bp or bop while they are currently hiring as you are about to age out might be the best move No point waiting for your dream 1811 jobs if you are no longer age. And then every 5 years there after Though its not as intrusive as cbp, they.
