I read that it seems to tailor to Enlisted SF Personnel. I am talking about a Civilian DOD or DAF police officers that are not enlisted in the Air Force or other service.

This is all I could find. If this doesn't help I'de call TCLEOSE

Where did you go to an academy and how long was it?

That's going to be your first hurdle..

[Raidergx]

Its 5 weeks at the VALETC. Same training as AF security forces get. This is kind of a futuristic question. I got a position as a AF civilian cop. I would like to do Police reserves out in town some where if I can.

I think I have to wait a year and I can challenge the test.

You mean reserves?

Also, if your academy was only 5 weeks your not going to be able to challenge the TCLEOSE test. There is an hour requirement as well as the other stipulations. 5 weeks isn't anywhere close to what you would need!!

[Raidergx]

Yes police reverses, you never heard of reverses...sorry for the spelling error.

No state or any other Federal agency will accept the training that the VA gives. However if you attend the full 8 week course with the VA Police, then you could apply for a VA Police position being that you have already been through their 8 week course.

However why are you attempting to jump ship already? And as far as the Reserves goes. You would have to check on the base policy to see if that's even possible.

[Raidergx]

Don't miss understand me I am not jumping ship on the Federal Gravy train. They (Air Force DOD Police) are matching my pay as a LEO for BOP at over 45k a year. No department can get close to that in the San Antonio area. I just like to stay up on the local law enforcement stuff, and work paid jobs if there are any.

I have a Ohio Police academy cert and a California POST academy cert. They are not active anymore but I think I have plenty of police training.

[LaPlaca]

regardless of what TCLEOSE will accept, your agency will most likely send you to an academy anyways.

So why not see if your other POST certs will transfer over? Or did not not actually become a LEO with them?

SAPD does get pretty close if not more then 45k once off probation.

[Raidergx]

I am sure they have long expired. I emailed TCLEOSE we will see what they say.

[Raidergx]

TCLEOSE lady said, no Air Force civilian police does not qualify for a waiver.

Wasn't that stated in here already?
