Male, 60
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.
No. Never interested in it.

My GUESS is that a judge is a judge who presides over a court while a commissioner is an Administrative Law Judge who presides over an administrative hearing, such as an inmate disciplinary hearing or a parolee revocation hearing. It would, however, depending on what arena and what jurisdiction you are operating in. Not exactly my field of expertise.

In Ca yes. I think it is 13 weeks right now. I suspect there is some sort of legally mandatory minimum training in all states for peace officers.

What's the most frivolous case you’ve handled?
Good communication skills, a thick skin and to be process oriented (rather than outcome oriented).
Share Answer: 
Minimum age depends. As far as I know to be a peace officer in the U.S. you must be 21. Often they will hire you at 20 `1/2 so you are 21 when you actually get out of the academy and go to work. If you are a :"jailer" (non peace officer) you can be hired at 18 in most states.
