What is the process for an out of state lateral officer applicant?
The requirements do include a California POST Basic Certificate, satisfactory completion of probation and either an AA/AS or 60 units. All out of state applicants will need to complete the California Peace Officer Standards & Training (P.O.S.T.) Re-qualification Course prior to testing as a lateral police officer applicant. Please refer to the California Peace Officer Standards & Training web page for more details on the re-qualification course at http://www.post.ca.gov.
