Ok, I'v been working for suffolk for 3 years and I love my job and am very comfortable, I just got a card in the mail for Transit police. Is there any reason why I should or shouldn't go ahead with it. Thanks

I would leave for Transit. You say you love your job and are comfortable, yet you applied for another department... if you're interested in moving on, take the Transit job. I'd give just about anything for a job with Transit.

Do what you are comfortable with, they are two entirely different jobs.

My biggest concern was having to start over again, being the new guy again, doing the academy, and going through all the bs. I just pretty much got over that where I work now, I'm starting to get the half decent job picks now. I dont even know if they transfer time for retirement, if not there goes almost 3 years wasted. Does anyone know the Max pay and how many steps Mbta has.

transit and don't look back.
3 years is not allot of time
think it takes 7 years to max out on the pay with the sheriffs dept.
so unless your transport , outer perimeter , etc. the mbta would be a better job
i believe mbta is civil service.
good luck

Mak the move man, I just started at a new Department a little over 6 months ago after being with my former for 4 years.

100% Transit all the way. You'll get academy experience, and you can't beat civil service protection. Also a lot of room for advancement.

Transit without a doubt

If you want to be free, go Transit. If you want to continue doing time, stay at Suffolk. I know two guys that left for Transit and never looked back; they both agreed that working outside the fence was an easier shift because they had the freedom to move around.

It all depends on which career you want. If you plan on staying in corrections for 20 years then stay put. If you want to try police work then make the move now. Take a leave of absence and try the T job. The worst mistake you could make is waiting 10 years, then kicking yourself in the a$$ for not trying the T police, which you may never get another opportunity for. Civil service also gives you the opportunity for lateral movement, which the sheriff's office does not. 3 years is NOT a long time, your just barely past being a rookie
Good luck in whatever you choose!!
