You'll have to contact DOCJT to see if your LEO certification can transfer over. If not, you'll have to get into an academy. KSP, Louisville and Lexington run their own. DOCJT runs the state academy in Richmond for everyone else. Once you get certified at any of those academies, you can work anywhere in the state (unless, like KSP and Lexington, the agency requires you to attend their academy).

Only accredited academy in the US?!?! Who told you that?!?!?

CALEA (www.calea.org) lists 19 academy accreditations...and that doesn't include acadamies acredited within a CALEA organization.

Don't be so confident...state laws and expectations vary widely. Contact DOCJT to see what can transfer, if anything.
