IF I AM HIRED, HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE I ATTEND THE STATE ACADEMY?

It varies depending on when the Oregon Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST) holds an academy. You begin your WCSO career at our 9-week, in-house pre-academy and will then be scheduled to attend the DPSST academy shortly after. All training (including the DPSST academy) is paid.
