IF I AM CERTIFIED CORRECTIONS OR POLICE OFFICERS OR A DEPUTY FROM OUT OF STATE, WILL MY CERTIFICATION TRANSFER SO I DON’T NEED TO ATTEND THE ACADEMY AGAIN?

The State’s Department of Public Safety Standards & Training (DPSST) reviews previous training and determines if additional or abbreviated training must be completed to be certified in Oregon. Many out-of-state lateral hires attend an abbreviated two week DPSST academy to attain their Oregon Certification. Please contact DPSST for additional questions.
