Lateral Transfer
The San Diego Police Department will accept applications from any
individual who has experience as full-time paid sworn peace officer with a
City Police, County Sheriff, State or Federal law enforcement agency, or is
currently working as a peace officer in California, or who has prior police
experience with a California law enforcement agency within the last one
year, or who has completed a California P.O.S.T. certified police academy
within the last year.
PO2 (Lateral entry)
Individuals with more than two years of full-time paid sworn police officer
experience may apply for PO2 status. Experience must include service with a law enforcement agency within the last one year. Time served in a training
capacity as a recruit/trainee as part of a Police Academy does NOT qualify
for the experience requirement.
NOTE: Qualified out-of-state applicants who lack the required California
P.O.S.T Certificate may apply. If hired, you will be required to attend a
paid Police Academy to satisfy California state certification requirements.
This certification is necessary to work as a police officer for the City of
San Diego.
PO1
Graduates of a California Law Enforcement academy within the last year as
an open enrollment student, or individuals with less than two years of full
time paid police experience (not including academy time) with a California
law enforcement agency within the last one year may apply for PO1.
If you are interested in obtaining a PO1 or PO2 application, contact the
City of San Diego Personnel Office.
