I worked for the California state system, starting as a Correctional Officer and retiring as a Lieutenant in 2005. I now write for the PacoVilla blog which is concerned with what could broadly be called The Correctional System.
The chances that the police even responded to your noise complaint are almost zero in most towns, so they don't care one way or the other. If you make a LOT of complaints and they mostly turn out to be bogus the cops might be irritated but under the circumstances I am completely competent that the local cops couldn't care less. (My expertise here comes from being the guy making the complaints and not the guy responding to them.)

I have no idea what an MIP is. My GUESS is that the answer is no, especially if you are correct and the record was EXPUNGED. typically misdemeanors don't go away simply because you paid the fine, but I am not tha familiar with the law in Florida, or for that matter Michigan. Sorry I could not be helpful.

Correctional Officer is an entry level position. The principle skills you must have to GET the job are an adequate educational level, the ability to read and write decently and a satisfactory background. Other skills you will be taught and develop as you go. The general duties are to supervise and supply security / custody for prisoners.

Least enjoyable aspect of the job was people on occasion trying to kill me. Most enjoyable was general job satisfaction coming from doing a job that I was good at and that had social relevance and importance. Pay started at about $1,000 per month, but that was 35 years ago.

I have no idea what a Correctional Service Technician does or where they work. I am guessing it is an entry level job so they may ask you questions within the field that fit into the MQs (minimum qualifications). They are also likely to ask you questions about your general ideas re: interactions with inmates. They may also be interested in your attendance and/or job preformance at a previous job or school and your communication skills, especially writing skills. Wish I could be more helpful but I am having trouble visualizing the job. It sounds like you will be functionally a supervisor-lead person for a crew of inmate janitors.

That depends on the situation. During most of the day shifts there are a lot of people moving around and during graveyard shift you are usually very busy. Unless you are seriously into hurried quickies it is nice to have a little time, a little physical comfort and a little security (unless the possibility of getting caught is the turn-on for you). I would say it takes a certain amount of planning and a certain amount of favorable circumstances. Easy, NO. Possible, definitely. If one of the partners has a fair amount of juice and exclusive access to secure areas it makes it much easier.
