Transfer, Re-Hire & Additional Employment

Too long didn't read (TLDR)

If you are certified and have been out of law enforcement for less than two years, you can submit one of two applications to be added to an agency roster: the Application for Agency Transfer or the Application for Agency Re-Hire. You complete the application yourself in the Acadis portal and route it to your agency POC. No Part 3, no additional training.

Not sure which path applies?

See the Certification Process overview for a decision guide.

Which application do I need?

There are three separate applications. Pick the one that matches your situation — they are not interchangeable.

Your situation	Application	Acadis webform
Certified and moving to a different agency, out of law enforcement less than 2 years	Application for Agency Transfer	BLEOST - Application for Agency Transfer
Certified, left law enforcement for the private sector, and returning to your former agency with no other law enforcement employment in between, less than 2 years out	Application for Agency Re-Hire	BLEOST Application for Re-hire
Certified and adding another employer to your Acadis record while keeping your current job	Application for Additional Employment	BLEOST Application for Additional Employment

If you have been separated 2 years or more, none of these apply — use the Re-certification path instead.

Who qualifies

For transfer and re-hire, both of the following must be true:

Officer holds a valid BLEOST law enforcement certification
Officer has been separated from law enforcement for less than 2 years as of the intended hire date

Additional employment has no separation requirement — the officer is currently certified and employed, and is simply adding a second employer.

How to submit

The applicant completes this in their own Acadis portal account. If you do not have one yet, see Requesting a portal account first.

Log in to the Acadis portal
Select "Standards Resources" in the left menu — your MCID number is on My Profile if you need it
Select "WebForms" and choose the webform that matches your situation from the table above
Complete every section that applies to you, then sign and submit. The transfer form asks for the organization you are transferring from, your title/rank, your date of separation, and whether your previous employer has already submitted a separation report
Go back to Home → My Work → Current Tasks. You will have a task reading ACTION REQUIRED: Review and route your Application to your Agency Point of Contact
Click the three dots to the right of "Review Information", select Mark Complete, then Continue Routing
Route the next task to your POC — type the first few letters of their last name, select them, and click Save & Assign

Your application is not going anywhere until step 7 is done. Submitting the webform alone leaves it sitting in your task list.

Do I need to attach anything?

No — unless you are providing documentation about a legal issue such as an expungement or a dismissal. Those should be attached to the application.

Verify the separation date carefully

If the officer has actually been separated 2 years or more, this is the wrong form and will delay certification. When the date is close to the 2-year mark, contact Standards & Training before submitting.
