It means you must already have an full time academy under your belt thats acceptable via MPTC standards. If you don't already have academy you are not "Certifiable".

Concord hired two new officers, one was a police officer on LAPD. Great department, should have a few more openings soon. You need a bachelor's degree and an academy though.

I thought they were looking for an AS and academy.

Well, they do advertise that as the minimum, but then select the ones with the other requirements.

That makes sense.

It seems like they hire a couple people EVERY year. Is there an issue retaining people there?
