I got invited to the PAT and Written Exam for Rowlett PD in just a couple of weeks, as I was going through their website I stumbled upon something that is a requirement I hadn't noticed when I sent in my application
7. TCLEOSE Certified or TCLEOSE certifiable (has taken and passed TCLEOSE Basic Peace Officer Exam)
Obviously since I'm asking this I'm not yet TCLEOSE certified, as I thought with the other departments who have called me to test in the upcoming weeks, said they will put me through the academy. As I was reading further down the page I saw this,
For information on becoming a licensed Texas Peace Officer contact the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG) at 817-640-3300, or TCLEOSE at 512-936-7700 (www.tcleose.state.tx.us). The Rowlett Police Department is not a sponsoring agency
And with that I thought I was automatically DQ'ed, but, I kept looking, and found this
7. Applicants will be given employment start dates. TCLEOSE licensed personnel will begin orientation and then move on to our Police Training Officer program. (Non licensed personnel will attend a Basic Peace Officer Academy as soon as an academy starts).
I've already emailed the Lt. once today about another question I had, and don't want to look like an idiot by emailing him again, so maybe can one of you clear this up for me from what I've posted? Do I need to be TCLEOSE certified to even have a chance, or does it look like they will send me through their/another academy?
I suppose I'll email him again anyways, just wanted to see if maybe someone on here might know..
