Lateral Transfers / Out of State Lateral Transfers:
We value your experience and will start you at a wage commensurate with your knowledge, skills and ability. Officers who come to the SPD from other Kansas law enforcement agencies and are KLETC-certified are not normally required to attend the full 15 week field training program. Depending upon qualifications, these officers are allowed to attend an abbreviated version of the FTO program. Certified Law Enforcement Officers from other states may be allowed to attend the one week KLETC Reciprocity Class rather than the full academy. KLETC is charged with the responsibility of deciding whether an Officer certified out of state will be eligible to attend the reciprocity class.
