Licensing Disclosure
FDLTCC’s law enforcement program is intended to prepare students to successfully pass the Minnesota Peace Standards and Training (POST) board examination. Most other states retain some form of academy training followed by certification of the individual officer. Minnesota requires those aspiring to work in law enforcement to complete an educational program and pass a state board exam. Licensing itself only occurs when eligible candidates are appointed to a peace officer position and certain selection standards are met. Licensing is a cooperative process between the POST Board, the hiring agency and the candidate https://dps.mn.gov/entity/post/licensing/Pages/default.aspx. In some cases state agencies allow people with peace officer experience from another state to meet licensure requirements by taking a reciprocity exam. If you are considering work in a state other than Minnesota, please contact the relevant state licensing agency to determine if there are reciprocity exams available.
