Academy training includes a minimum of 435 hours of academic and skills training. Persons who are certified peace officers in other states may be eligible to receive certification in Colorado without completing a full basic academy. This requires successful completion of the certification examination and meeting POST standards for skills training. To be eligible to apply for a police officer position, applicants must have current certification, or a scheduled certification test date. An offer of employment will not be made until basic certification is received.
Board is responsible for issuance of certification.
