Wow, I've never seen an agency hire someone so quickly. No background, no psych, no polygraph, just hired. Congrats.

There are lots of places to get duty gear. GT is good, you can also try LAPG, policehq, even Amazon has most stuff. Buy the best stuff you can afford, especially the holster. Get light weight nylon if you are allowed to. I like open top mag holders due to their speed, open cuff cases, and kydex for the holster.

Good luck in FTO/PTO.

No, but they list them on the SIG web site, so I imagine they have been vetted to some degree.

Anyone?

Sounds like you need to study your CCP a little more. Jailers are not Peace Officers. As far as I know, you get no privledges as far as firearms go as a jailer. Most jailer positions are armed only with pepper spray.

I understand that but most jailers didn't go through the police academy and take the peace officer state test either.

Many of them do after they get hired on. The license alone doesn't gain you anything. The commission is key, as spelled out in CCP 2.12.
