IPO vs DPO

I need input on this. I applied for both IPO and DPO in my city. I got the call yesterday that I got offered IPO and will start next week. I know with IPO you work mainly in the prison and you don’t leave much

I was more interested in DPO because the chance to do visits and leave the office, plus I worked in corrections for 7 years already. The thing is I’m still waiting on DPO.

Does anyone have any input of their experience on the two to help me make a better decision? I was thinking of waiting to get a call from DPO but I would hate to miss any opportunities
