This Lateral Recruit Class (LRC) is available to applicants who are already certified as a law enforcement officer through the State of Florida and have two or more years of active law enforcement experience.
**Attention Out-of-State Certified Law Enforcement Officers**
You have the option to transfer your out-of-state law enforcement certification to Florida via the Equivalency of Training Program through the Florida Criminal Justice Standards and Training Commission. Once your certification is transferred and you’re certified as a law enforcement officer in the State of Florida, you will be eligible for the Lateral Recruit Class if you have two or more years of active law enforcement experience.

As a recruit you are an employee of the State of Florida. We provide a salary, benefits, meals and lodging and a positive training atmosphere. Recruits are expected to participate in their training and maintain a professional demeanor.
The FHP Training Academy is in Tallahassee, Florida. The Lateral Recruit Class (LRC) is approximately 4 weeks and Recruits are challenged physically and mentally during their training to ensure they have what it takes for a career with FHP. The training is conducted in a paramilitary format with strict attention to detail. We emphasize teamwork, ethical decision making and professionalism. Our training methods develop personal strength, character, maturity, self-confidence and leadership skills. The Florida Highway Patrol Training Academy curriculum exceeds Florida Department of Law Enforcement standards.
Training is conducted in a variety of formats. Through classroom lectures and discussions recruits learn basic concepts and knowledge. Practical exercises require the recruit to demonstrate proficiency in the skill area. Recruits are then placed in law enforcement scenarios. The scenarios require recruits to take action and demonstrate their learned skills.
In addition to academic training, recruits participate in physical training each morning. The Florida Highway Patrol believes that living a physically fit lifestyle increases a Trooper’s ability to cope with a demanding law enforcement career. Recruits regularly perform flexibility and cardiovascular endurance exercises. They also engage in muscular strength and conditioning exercises.
The Academy is a live-in training facility. All recruits will stay on academy grounds during the work-week. They will usually have the weekends off. Evenings at the academy give the recruit quiet time to prepare for upcoming training. Recruits are assigned to dormitory style rooms, and will have a roommate. The Recruits are responsible for the cleanliness and organization of their room.
We will provide all of your essential equipment, uniforms and a take-home patrol car. New Troopers must complete 10-12 weeks of field training, where they must demonstrate their knowledge, skills and abilities with certified Field Training Officers.
Please remember, our hiring process will take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, so if you are considering a career with the Florida Highway Patrol, the sooner you apply, the greater chance you’ll have to become a member of the next Recruit Class! Don’t wait until it’s too late! Apply Now!
