Is an Arkansas Certified Officer accepted in other states??

Yes for Texas, but you have to take the Texas Supplemental Peace Officer Course #1018. You can search it on tcleose.state.tx.us

I'm almost sure you can go through an abbreviated academy/course in FL as well, but don't quote me.

Lateral transfer is possible in AL. You would need to go through the 80-Hour Refresher Course.

You'll need to check with each state. They all have different rules on lateral transfers.

I'm an Arkansas Certified Officer w/ several yrs. of experience. Does Texas, Florida etc. accept the Arkansas Commission on LE standards certification?
