New LEO Academy Grad

[DMark]

HE MADE IT!!!!!!!!

Happy to post that our son graduated from the Law Enforcement Training Academy at Cleveland State this past Friday.

He has completed all of the requirements as set forth by the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission and is ready to be certified as a full-time police officer.

We're very proud of him!

Now - - - Anybody know any Departments that are Hiring?

Yay for him! Can't help you find him a job unless you wanna send him down to this end of the state , but I'm sure he'll find one soon enough!! Buy him a beer for me!

THP was hiring,but don't if they still are. Might check with Knoxville PD, or Knox county sheriff.

THP was hiring...

The POST certification wouldn't do him any good. They'd make him go through the THP academy anyway. I don't know about him, but if I can go the rest of my life without experiencing another academy, I'll be happy. One of the main reasons I didn't give THP much thought when I wanted to change agencies.

Congratulations. I heard yesterday that Goodlettesville PD is hiring.

Thanks everybody for all of the kind remarks and info.

My son has been making the rounds of the local agencies. Most are very surprised that he already has his POST and ask what department sent him. They aren't aware that criminal justice majors can apply to attend one of the Academies.

So, hiring him would save a department big taxpayer bucks - - - since the Bank of Mom & Dad has already taken care of that cost.
