State corrections officer

Hi all, I feel like this group is more white collar workers but I’m wondering if there are any people who have been through their state corrections program, I’m looking at joining the profession probably in VIC or QLD based on salary and benefits but I can’t find anything online about the actual training program!

I come from an Army background and I doubt it would be as ‘intensive’ as it was (I use the term intensive very loosely) but I wanted to know about the frequency of physical training and what is taught on the course outside of “counselling” and the implied putting people in and out of cells.

I also have never seen the word firearm used in anything but I swear I have seen corrections with firearms before, is that a thing?
