Posted 4 months ago i am trying to apply for seminole police dept but they are asking me for a police certification does anyone no where can i obtain one and how long does it take . thank you |
|
| Posted 4 months ago I'm guessin that they mean an academy graduation certificate, is Colorado its called POST certification Peace Officer Standards and Training. So, if you have not attended an LE academy yet, thats what they are looking for. |
|
| Posted 4 months ago Yes, you must attend a Certified Police Academy and take a State Certification test to get certified. |

| Posted 4 months ago Mike, Depending on the state that you are in, the P.O.S.T. Certification is different. Here in Missouri, we have different classes. I have a Class A Certification which means that I attended a Certified Police Academy for 640 training hours. The Class B Cerification is 470 training hours. I attended the Eastern Missouri Police Academy in St. Peters, Mo. back in 2000 which had 2 classes consisting of a full time daily 6 month course and a part-time nightly 1 year course. Since I was working full time, I attended the part-time course. |

|
| Posted 4 months ago Every state is different. In NY the department you are accepted to provides their own academy. Get the correct answer from someone in Florida. |

| Posted 4 months ago I went originally in Florida. You have to find a college that has an academy and enroll. Most places you will pay for this on your own. Once you complete the academy you will pay FDLE $200 and take the State Officer Certification Exam. The results of this will be in after about 2 weeks. You will give the results sheet (copy) and the academy certificate to the agency you are applying with. Once hired the agency will apply to FDLE for your actual certification. |

| Posted 2 months ago I am currently in the police academy here in florida. i self-sponsored myself it cost just under $3000 and the academy is 22 weeks long. i am only a month into but it is awesome. the academy is at palm beach community college in lakeworth FL. i take my certification exam on my birthday in august where in florida do you live? send me a message if you want to know more or if you have any questions |

|
| Posted 2 months ago Complete a FL police academy and then pass the state exam. Be nice, be professional, have a plan to kill everyone you meet. |

| Posted 2 months ago KSP494 said: KSP, they have a pay your own way and ones where the agency pays your way here. The bad thing is upwards of 40-50% will never get hired for one reason or another. But the school that sponsers the academy (such as Florida Community College Jacksonville) makes money on each student so they want lots of students rather than a selective few. |

Mike you need to contact the department that you want to work at and see if they are sponsoring anyone for training. I too live in FL and want to become a police officer. If they are not sponsoring you can go to I am checking at other departments to see if I can get sponsored. |

So basically they don't want to pay for you to go through academy they want someone else to do it? I respectfully request Nikk and Henry be brought back as moderators please. PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY! |

| Posted about 1 month ago You're not going to find many depts in Fl anymore that will hire you THEN send you to the acad. Talk to most any community college and they'll get you in the right direction. You can also go to the FDLE website and see the minimum requirements. Assuming you pass an academy you then have to pass the state cert test. THEN you go job hunting. You better be patient..... it aint gonna happin over night! The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!
