With one typical work day is ran the same way as every other day, but can still be unpredictable. Since the work is managing inmates inside of a detention center one day in this job can be significantly different than a different day. From this job I learned a lot about interacting with people and how people think. Managing inmates has had a big impact on me personally because I learned a different point of view than what everyone else thinks. Usually people just say that a certain individual is guilty because they were caught by the police and sent to jail. Many people in the jail are definitely thought of as guilty because of how they act and what decisions they make, but there are also other people inside the jail that may not be guilty. I was one of those people before I worked in the jail that assumed everyone was a criminal or guilty to a certain degree. I found that there are many different people who were falsely accused or were in jail for a very small offense that did not really need jail time. Some people were really poor and could not afford bail so were then stuck sitting inside jail because they had no choice or help. There were also a lot of individuals inside the jail that were victims of mental health problems, and also were subjected to the same treatment. For me, working in this job was not necessarily a negative one. I had a lot of supervisors that were helpful to me and were positive about work moral. It was easy for Jailers to get caught up in the environment and "take work home". I never had that problem but there were many outlets to help jailers overcome the negative company of the inmates. The hardest part about my job was getting inmates to do what you wanted them to do. The easiest way to go about it was to earn their respect. When you earn their respect they will abide by what you say 99% of the time. The most enjoyable part of my job was actually the same thing, which was talking to the inmates. Just by talking to them you can learn a lot about people. How people think, street knowledge, manipulation, and some would even tell you exactly how they got caught. I do not regret working in this job, it was a very good experience and gave me plenty of it.

A typical day at work for me involves me working with active, reserve duty members of the military.  I help coordinate with the transitioning process for being Medically Discharged from the military.  I aslo monitor the RTD (Return to Duty) members that have conditions that allow them to return to there specific job duty.
In my experience at Lackland AFB I have learned that I have to show compassion while handling the process of what could be the end of person career.  Meaning.. dealing with members who have lost limbs, members that hall terminal illnesses.  I have learned to also have a much greater respect level for those who sacrifice there life and time away from families to serve our country.
Mu management throughout my whole career working with the Air Force has been AMAZING.. I have been offered positions not only based on my skills, but my professional work ethics, and being a people person.  
My co-workers have all become family.  They have been nothing but supportive to me and my transition to Texas.  They are all team players, and make sure everyone in my office is up on the latest trainings or any education that will increase our job performance.
The hardest part of my job is the emotions you deal with.  (ex.) Having to explain to a member that has lost a limb, that there arent getting the percentage of benefits that they think they should have or better yet deserve.  In my past most members have been able to get what they need,  The ultimate thing is having to brief a member about there benefits who is already facing the fact they they have a terminal illness.
I love everything about my job!  Especially my co-workers.. Its rewarding to me to help the military members find there way outside of the military.  I deal with members who are right out of high school.  Being away from family is hard, when your on your Journey alone.  I like to say they come to me sometimes just to have a motherly figure conversation, or maybe a home cooked meal.. Either way my door is always open.

A typical day at work is maintaining the security of the entire jail. Make sure that everything runs smoothly on your shift and that you don't pass on any problems to the next shift. This kind of environment has helped me learn IPC skills. (How to talk to inmates). Make sure that they don't take there anger to the next level and want to fight someone else, especially an officer. Most of my management team were terrific people and I would work for them any time. I like supervisors that will listen to you and not think that just because they are a supervisor that they are better then you are. For the most part, I got along with all of my co workers. The hardest part of the job is putting up with the things that other fellow officers would do or say about other officers. I believe that if you can't say it to the persons face then you should keep your comments to your self. The most enjoyable part of my job was, all the friends that I made while working there. I still keep in touch with them. I also loved helping people out, even if they were inmates. I only did what I was legally allowed to do. Sorry, I'm not going to prison for anybody.

If you like incompetence, to be overworked, inadequately paid and managed by people who dont know what they're doing because they have to follow directions from incompetent superiors who are following orders of incompetent superiors, apply now! If you like to be told to do your job and everyone elses and get reprimanded because you are inadequately trained, apply now! The stupid leading the blind. They either make an easy job hard or a hard job harder because someone at the top is incompetent. Work life balance is non existent. Waked in one day and was told by the sherrif that our jobs were no existent and that they would find a position for us in other departments that was a lie! We had to search for the jobs, apply and then interview again when many of us were new employees (High turn over rate) who had just went through that process. They opened the new booking building while we were short staffed, with hundreds of inmates out in the open it is a tragedy waiting to happen. The officers are over worked with mandatory and volenTOLD overtime 16 hr days each. The morale is LOW  everyone who works their hates their life. And when the investigations for erroneous releases started the officers got blamed eventhough they were following incompetent directions and policies from incompetent superiors who sat around did nothing but pass the buck and blame. Do NOT work here!

Awful shift to work but that's all that's  left for the newbies. It is difficult hearing the emergencies come through and you have to kind of desensitize yourself to it because you need to help the person as soon as possible. It's a noble profession, but because of the high stress environment mixed with politics, it's easy for people to blame you for their lack of ability to train you properly. They will say it's something in your skillset but really they're just not taking the time to explain things and they are threatened by new idea. My telecommunicator trainer tried to throw me under the bus because I wasn't using the CAD program her way, when the instruction manual said there were clearly multiple ways to accomplish the same task (eg keyboard shortcuts  vs. mouse clicks). I don't remember which thing it was specifically but once was in their bad graces they eventually stopped training me then my training window was prolonged and then it appeared to them that I wasn't learning enough or progressing. They eventually made me resign or be fired like they do anyone they eventually fall out with. I really enjoyed helping people but was disillusioned when I was unable to serve the people the way I wanted. To this day they constantly advertise that they are hiring because no one wants to stay there, and the only people that do are the dinosaurs.

A typical day at work consist following up with emails and phone calls as soon as my day starts. I also interview prospective clients for the program being offered by the court. I also maintain consistent professional contact with coworkers and partnering agencies with diplomacy and tact in regards to clients progress in program. Furthermore, I also track, analyze and report the clients progression while in program. When meeting with some of these clients they may be in a state of crisis or being difficult and irrational. I will have to use deescalation techniques to diffuse those types of situations. I have learned to manage high risk individuals who are on probation in the amount of 150 cases at any given time. As a program Manager I have to solve any program or partnering agencies issues professionally and efficiently. My coworkers have been a great support in my growth as a Manager.

The most enjoyable part of the job is the success of the clients and partnerships that have the same goal of the program.

A typical day at the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is fast-paced, structured, and purpose-driven. No two days are exactly the same, which keeps the work engaging and constantly challenging. The environment requires adaptability, strong attention to detail, and the ability to handle high-pressure situations while maintaining professionalism and composure.

What I appreciated most about working here was the sense of responsibility and service. The work directly impacts public safety and the well-being of the community, which gives real meaning to the job. Teamwork is essential, and you quickly learn to rely on your coworkers—there is a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support, especially during demanding situations.

The Sheriff’s Office provides valuable experience, solid training, and exposure to many aspects of law enforcement and public service. It’s a place where you develop discipline, problem-solving skills, and the ability to work effectively under stress. Overall, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office is a challenging but rewarding place to work for those who take pride in serving their community and being part of something larger than themselves.

All the authority was basically taken away from the officers due to the counselors believing they know best. Their rules for us created an environment where there were little to no consequences for the juveniles. It completely empowered them and the more involved the counselors got in the decision making, the worse the juveniles became. They began assaulting officers on a regular basis, and unless you wanted to press charges yourself where their family could get ahold of all of your information, then there would be no extra punishment for the juveniles actions. Keep in mind, they come from families heavily involved in gangs, so having those families knowing where you live and everything certainly isn't ideal. The environment became far too unsafe for officers which is ultimately why I left. Lastly, the politics were insane. People who were qualified and deserved the promotions never got them and people who were much less qualified, had less experience, and didn't deserve the positions are the ones who always got them. Why? Because they were the ones that kissed up to the management. Tons of favoritism.
