If hired by the Police Department for a peace officer position, a Police Recruit is one who we send to the academy for training. A Police Officer (Lateral) is one who has already completed a California P.O.S.T. Basic Police Academy and has received a P.O.S.T. certificate. Lateral applicants must attach a copy of their certificate to the submitted application.
