Out of State - Lateral

[BPD84]

Just looking for the basics on lateral transfers. I've got 2 1/2 years on in a small town in NH. Looking for general small town (around 5,000 pop.) hiring process info. Do they require certified guys to still go through the state academy or do they just have to do a law package? Also, how does the pay relate to home prices (small towns)? Here its about 36,000 to 200,000 (pay:home avg.)

Looking primarily in Windham county (or similar).

Thanks!

I pulled this from the CT Police Officer Standards and Training Council website. The pay here for a lateral transfer would be about $55,000 : $300,000..(pay:home avg.)


Q. If I have received “Basic Training in another state or while employed as a police officer, do I have to be trained again?

A. Not necessarily. You may be eligible for a status of Comparative Compliance if; the employing law enforcement unit recommends the Council consider an alternative route or waiver to satisfy the basic training requirements; you have completed at least two years of full time employment with a law enforcement unit: have not had more than three years separation from a law enforcement unit. In determining whether to waive all or a portion of the required police basic training program, the Police Officer Standards and Training Council shall evaluate in comparison to current requirements the quality and extent of the candidate’s (1) previous basic training and certification as a police officer; (2) formal, professional and in-service training and education in law enforcement or criminal justice, and (3) length of service and field experience as a police officer. The council may waiver those portions of the police basic training program for which a candidate demonstrates (a) the satisfactory completion of a substantial equivalent training or educational program in another state of jurisdiction, or (b) a length of service with field experience sufficient to establish a practical mastery of the required skills, or a satisfactory combination of both.

Thanks for the info. Are those figures you put up from Windham County or from another part of the state. I'm looking for a small/rural type of area. Thanks!

Those figures are pretty average throughout that rural side of the state, all depends on which town your looking at specifically. And remember that a lot of those smaller town out that way have resident state troopers and no police department, so you might be limited in where you can apply..
