Cowboy, I hope you put in for this job you never know. Plus you don't need to already be academy trained. As always good luck bro

 

What's the age limit ?

 

Here I'll ask the stupid questions just to get them out of the way.

Ch90? Take homes? Arrest powers?

Sorry couldn't help myself.

Anyone know what retirement system the probation officers fall under?

 

If the Trial Court had over 1500 applicants last year when they posted for ACO and only hired 90 total out of that, I wonder how many applicants they are going to have for ACO and now CO. I applied for 3 different county's. I wish i knew how many they are going to hired this time around.This should be fun..lol

 

What a hell of a way to finish off your years of working. M-F, DAYS, INSIDE. I love my job, but I'm getting old and I want more opportunities to be on TV leading around prisoners.

Ok, before court officers start screaming at me, I'm not saying it's an easy job, it's just...M-F, DAYS, INSIDE and a nice paycheck to boot.

 

What do these folks max out at and how many years do you have to put in to retire? 20
What's the ot like here? None to very little?

Next time I'm in BMC I will try and find out these guys always look kind of miserable except for the ones down stairs in the Sally port their usually cool

 

Not sure, but be wicked surprised if they were NOT under the Golden Group 4

 

Same as CO'S group 2. Been trying for group 4 for a while.

FOR CO'S

Just to clarify the specifics...

COs have ALL the powers of a Police Officer on and "about the areas of the court". Every full moon or so a CO does have to run off court property to arrest someone. Its VERY rare, see MGL 221 S 70A (powers of a CO). Also "about the areas of" has never been clarified or argued.

We are the only court agency that is 100% unarmed and that is sad. But I'll say our new director (former chief of staff of the NCIS) and a few of us have already had a few good talks and we may just see some good changes over the next few years. Good luck to all!!

 

Just make sure you have a ticket book for CH.90, cuz your buddies (Magistrates) may toss some ULIARS arrests without a citation. And hopefully those changes come sooner than the next few years!

 

Has anyone gotten an interview? or heard process status? etc.

 

I know uh !!! Probably our background isn't good enough.

 

Anyone know if they are still hiring for these positions? After checking the website I found no mention for any Court Officers.

 

There was a posting state wide for Court Officers and Associate Court Officers, but it's closed now

 

6,000+ apps for 27-40ish slots state wide.

Give it anywhere from 8-12+ months for a call back.

Stand by to stand by...

 

"Hurry up and Wait!" Thats what they taught me in the Army

 

You were in the Army??? Tell us about it.

 

Somehow I KNEW his question wouldn't be simply answered. You mess up on ONE thread, it haunts you on ALL threads. I read this yesterday and just let it go.
