Austin Police Department Hiring

[Austin Police]

modified academy

We are still working on the fine details but I will post as soon as we get it set up

[TXleoapplicant]

For those interested in the October class, applications must be in by the end of June.

Please keep us posted on the possibility of the "lateral" program or the "modified entry academy." I am most interested in that method of application, given that I have experience.

Austin Police are planning on doing a modified academy starting in June 2008 for those that are interested please contact us

We are going to a job fair in Detroit July 2nd. For those interested we are testing up there also on June 30 and July 3rd

5 miles a day? wow i need to get back in there! Guys we do not run 5 miles every day. Academy is 32 weeks a fair amount of DT but it's not going to wear you out and thats when you have no pressure, no big decisions to make just sit back listen and learn. For those of you with prior it's going to come naturally. Best time of your career !!!!

Austin Police,

You have a Private Message waiting.

I'd love to apply to Austin but heard it's academy is a bit too rigorous in terms of running PT for my taste. Daily runs of 5 miles or better causes these 40 year old knees to worry. The academy is very lengthy as well. Other than that Austin is a real cool place to live or visit.

Austin Police, I wish you all luck with a lateral program. That would have been a great move for me as I have family in San Antonio, who also doesn't have a lateral program.

Good luck with your recruiting and stay safe.

We are hoping that it will be within the next year

I will be interested in transferring to Austin once you institute a lateral entry program. :-) I'll be looking to get back to Texas in 3-5 years.

The cost of living is low too, great weather. How much more can you ask for !!!

I'm in the process of getting my degree and I have been looking into law enforcement somewhere in the south if i can get into a department down there. Some place in Texas is my first choice. What a state.

[Austin Police]

Right now even if you pass TCLEOSE you would still need to go through the full academy but you would only have to worry about one test at the end instead of two!!!!

hey its always good to work on strength
