Thanks for all the informative information. I have applied and am scheduled for the PAT and Written test this Saturday at 10AM.

Do you know how many people are scheduled to test for the one or two positions? Have they decided how many they are going to hire? Also, are they going to be hiring a recruit for sure or are they thinking about hiring a lateral.

I am currently a probation/parole officer in KY. My Girlfriend was hired as a teacher in Franklin county so the proximity is perfect and would love to begin my career in this department.

Any further information would be great and thanks again!
