Apply to a Sheriff's Office that runs its own academy. I believe Dougco and El Paso do it. You are given a job and paid during academy.

Yo ronin, let me know how it goes. I might be going that path or switching to another field entirely. Just gotta decide what I want to do with my GI bill.

Apply in Houston and then transfer out in a couple of years. (if you live through it)
I will not abide this abomination. (1224)
Just check the city websites aroudn the metro for job announcements. Get picked up by one of them and they will pay you a salary while you attend the academy. Pretty solid gig right there. I know Arvada, Westy, Wheat Ridge, Jeffco are hiring pretty constantly. I even know a Lakeside PD guy that just got hired by Denver PD after working in Lakeside for 4 years. He was in the first Denver academy since they started them back up.

They seem to be hiring, and if your record is clean, you will find the work challenging.
So many people who ask me about getting into LE aren't willing to move to work. It always makes me wonder about their motivation to enter the profession.
Good luck and Be safe.
That's how I did it. Also, you can look at University of Colorado. My wife was a parking enforcement officer as a part time gig while in school. They then hired her on as a LEO and sent her to the EPSO academy. She was a fully certified POST officer for the State of CO, with a 5 mile range of coverage around the campus. Some from there then transfer to larger agencies ie: CSPD, EPSO, State Patrol etc

If your wife works for UCCS, then her chief is a good buddy of mine. We worked together for a number of years.

She left a while back, wasn't her cup of tea nor mine.
Oddly, if you are talking about Spice, I tailgated with him at a USAFA football game a while back. Didn't even know who he was initially. At least he said nice things about her...lol
