I'm going to make the Assumption that Kentucky and Florida are relatively similar. A basic certification in Law Enforcement from the State of Kentucky won't get you on in most of the large departments, so it limits you to smaller towns and maybe smaller rural county sheriffs departments, which tend to be a bit good old boy. If you really are interested in a career in law enforcement, you will have to a apply to the police academy of whichever department you want to work. Almost all the departments allow extra credit for military law enforcement experience and most give you some preference points as a veteran. As an example, the Kentucky State Police have a resident Academy that is 23 weeks, Lexington's isn't resident, but is 33 weeks of training.

No luck there either. You have to know someone that knows someone.
