Certified only? [Archive] - LEO Affairs Forums

So I was checking out the Seminole's website and it says they only hire certified officers...but I've heard of 1 or 2 Seminole Officers coming out of the academy.

What's the deal? Do you have to know someone to be hired as a non-certified and get sent to the academy?
