Could a Trooper, irregardless of what post, etc, contact me via private message? I'd like to learn more about the agency. I'm currently 18 years old and I'm trying to figure out whether or not to stick with my 4 person PD for 3 years or go with MCCD until I'm 21, where I will then transfer to GSP.

If you are already a Georgia Certified peace officer, you will skip the basic mandate portion of the Trooper school and go to the FTO portion of your training. GSP does not take out of state laterals and give them credit, though Georgia Post does if you were coming to this state to work for a local agency.God created some police officers perfect, the rest he put in cars.

FlyingPig,
Ok...here is how is works, if you are GA Post certified you would go to the academy better known as "Trooper School" for GSP specific training if I am not mistaken 6 to 8 weeks long. Then the Certified "cadets" go to FTO for the remainder of the academy while the rest of the class does the Mandate training. [This training is similar to the Learning Domains's you had to learn in CA]
Note: FTO for GSP is completed while you are technically in the academy. Thus if you fail FTO you will not graduate.
I hope this helps...Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable. - Sydney J. Harris

Originally posted by FlyingPig1 View PostHmmm.. interesting. Ive been a cop for 15yrs. When I talked to them about coming on from CA, it was the full academy and full FTO. There was nothing given or credited for prior experience. Unless the recruiter I talked to didnt know what he was talking about.
I hope this clears things up a little.
