A bit of a thread hi-jack...: How long are corrections officer schools most places these days?
Are there any jurisdictions when you are retired or separated mil NCO or Officer that give you a shorter Academy?

It’ll depend on the state but if you have MIL LE experience you MAY be able to avoid the academy all together. Any other MIL experience other than LE won’t qualify.
Most,if not all states, set the standards for being certified as an officer in that state. An agency can exceed those standards but cannot reduce those standards.
Corrections academies are usually shorter from what I have seen. It’s not really true corrections but my county’s detention academy is 1 week long with several months of field training after that. My state’s corrections academies are longer....I think maybe 3 months. Min police academy is 6 months.
