FTEP?

Can any VCSO guys shed any light on what your FTEP program is like. Any details would be greatly appreciated.

The FTEP program is an intensive program that ensures only the most highly trained deputy will earn the title of VCSO deputy. Through the months of training with the elite training department a quality deputy emerges that has all the tools necessary. The training with the VCSO is the toughest in the state (and the results prove it).

What type of training is given, generally? how much physical training is to be expected and how well prepared should one be?

Really guy??? Your an embarrassment, if your even a deputy and not a teenage explorer.

There are some FACTS and not OPINIONS on the "elite". Look harder young man, MANY more agencies have higher standards as well as pay than the VCSO. Also do yourself a favor and ask around, most agencies outside of Central Florida have never even heard of the VCSO and that doesn't bode well for an agencies reputation. :shock:

What does money have to do with training (or being one of the elite)? You are probably in one of the following categories of people:
- one of the malcontents profiled on VolusiaExposed
- somebody who failed FTEP
- somebody who was not accepted at all for the VCSO

Either way...Good luck in your endeavors to get hired on with the VCSO.

I really hope, for the citizens sake, your not in CID.

I guess you could also be a high school kid. Or maybe a combination of two of the four (a high school drop out who was not accepted at the VCSO)
