EMT in the Allegheny County Jail
Hey yall,
I was just wanted pick brains on anyone that works in the county jail and even better as EMS Clinician. I recently saw the job listing and wanted to apply. I’m about to hit 5 years as an EMT and ready for a change off the truck. I already work two jobs pulling in 84 hours and I heard they have great benefits and overtime. Anything to increase my chance of securing the job or what to look out for? Any personal experiences working at the jail, not in it would be great lol.
Also worried about having an ARD DUI first offense on my record, completed it back in 2025 and it happened in 2024. Nothing crazy went through the process and paid everything. No incidents since then and stopped drinking. I got two young kids and it seems like an amazing opportunity so I don’t want to get my hopes up.
Any insight and opinions would be helpful, thank you have a great day guys.
