I had gone to Polk State College to be an EMT but unfortunately the county was on the hiring freeze so the only job I could get was with the Sheriff's Office. But I do have I was trained basic life support and advanced life support.
I have all of my certifications accommodations certificates to see them. I took my job very serious and always kept out and on for everyone including the animals
Polk County Sheriff's office has me as non rehireable and that is due to a non on the job injury I wound up having five surgeries in 3 years on my back and neck I was absolutely no good for 5 years total but because I used my long-term disability I could not go back to animal control and I could not return to the Sheriff's Office for 3 years in the meantime I moved to Texas and I should be clear to go back to work but I never got my clearance from my doctor and no other neurosurgeon well.
