[jay222]

If you go to the delaware state police academy as a town police officer not a trooper is all the trainning the same? Do you still live there?

You can get a waiver to become a state trooper if your a town cop and go thru a joint academy with DSP recruits. I went thru the process with a town in DE about 5 years ago and had my training accepted for waiver but was told that if it was not and had gone thru the full academy that I could be waivered to becoming a DSP trooper.

The DSP academy is live in. If it is an all municipal class, you live there for 8 weeks and commute the rest. If you are a certified police officer in DE and DSP hires you, you go through a "fast track" academy where you live there for six weeks.
