FL to CA

Is it easy to get hired laterally in California as a certfied LEO from another state?

Most agencies in CA accept laterals only from departments within CA. Out of state candidates must take the CA P.O.S.T. exam to qualify for CA certification or attend an academy within this state.

The best thing to do is contact the recruiter for the agency you have an interest in and ascertain what, if anything, they are willing to accept.
