It may depend on state. In TX I think there was a small few month window to do so, while in MO it appears to be a year. I'm not sure of anywhere else. |

In Colorado IIRC you have one year after being certified to obtain a peace officer position before you have to re-certify....some agencies may require you attend another academy if they have their own |

So I am certified in Colorado, if I should decide I wanted to apply, I can say I passed the POST and am able to be licensed by a hiring department. MMMMMM......... Interesting. TX is not part of the POST program, so I am still learning about it. |

oh yeah, but that isn't a roadblock to being hired, that's an "in-service" training. Above and beyond the State's requirements. Plus that's a paycheck too...... |

Ah, thanks. I've got a feeling you guys are going to be big helps over the next two years for me. Is 9-11 stuff you will learn in the academy also? I mean, it makes me wonder. Do they teach you in a classroom about the different types of guns you will be using, or do you actually physically use the guns? It's a college, so it'd be weird to think that you use guns. But going through this college is an alternate route to getting certified. |

so basically it's the same as the MO one. Take the CO test and I'm certified and can be licensed without another acadamy (not including any inservice acadamies if that department requires one) Still interesting, I let you know what I'm thinking sometime. I lived in Ft. Collins as a middle school kid and a small town Poudre Park before that. Colorado is such a beautiful state, if only they didn't have the damn broncos...... |

Probably will when it comes time to take that specific class. I'm excited to start class though. I'll get my degree and when it comes time to go to an academy, having that degree will really help me do well in an academy. |

To be fair, HALF of Colorado is beautiful. The rest is a vile, barren wasteland, worse even than *ick* Kansas.
Denver may be near the beautiful part, but it isn't in the beautiful part. The dry sand of a beach isn't wet just because it's near the ocean. |
