I'm a prior cop in the military who attended the EOT academy to receive my LEO cert in Florida. Have been a road deputy for the past 3 years and am looking to get out of Florida. I'm finding a lot of resistence from other states to accept my Florida certification and take me as a lateral even with 3 years experience simply because I didn't attend a full academy. I'm curious if others have encountered the same problem or found states willing to accept it.
I have attended a full corrections academy and later this week am going to talk with the director of our local academy and see what my options are. As much as I don't want to, the only option I can see is to attend a part time cross-over to acquire the needed academy hours. Any thoughts or suggestions?
