Reserve Recertification Program?

Reserve officers recieve the same credits for in service training as full time. As long as they put in 16 hours a month, their certs will remain valid. Once the service stops, the person has 3 years to get a new law enforcement position.

Same as full time officers, they just do it for free.

Reserve officers have the same 24 hour CPT requirement every 2 years just like full-timers. Your POST has to be kept up with those CPT hours as well as your 16 hours per month of police work.

My level I is old... I'd love to be able to re-cert it and apply as a Reserve for our local S.O.

I'll have to look into this when I have more time.

Good luck and I hope they don't make you do the whole academy again. The 3 week re-cert is bad enough from what I hear.

Gee, I've been retired for 8 years, have a "few" medical issues and I'm 61; I wonder if I can get back on my former dept.
