The correctional officer to law enforcement officer academy at the Institute of Public Safety prepares students holding certification as a correctional officer to become entry-level law enforcement officer in Florida. The program design is the same fast-paced and highly structured program as the law enforcement academy, the program consists of 518 contact hours. Hourly attendance requirements may vary as our crossover programs are held in conjunction with those attending the basic law enforcement officer academy. While we recognize your work experience, all crossover students are held to the same standards as students attending their first program, including the uniform and training equipment requirements. Because of these standards, we think you will find our method delivers consistent, fair instruction to all students regardless of which program they attend. The program culminates in a crucible known as scenario weekend, where students demonstrate their newly acquired skills during reality-based training scenarios.
