"
In 2023, 68 18-year-olds obtained their jailers license, 17 times the number who obtained their license a decade earlier, according to data from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, the agency that administers the jailer’s license exam and certifies trainers.
Proponents say hiring 18 year-olds is a win-win: The recent graduates fill a critical staffing need while also jump-starting their career right out of high school."
