Verifying with Training Providers

If the certificate was issued by a training provider, we recommend verifying authenticity with them. Training providers often maintain a training record or attendance roster that can be used to cross-check and confirm the issuance of the certificate.

Recommended Steps:

  1. Contact the Provider: Reach out to the training provider who issued your certificate.
  2. Request Verification: Ask them to verify your participation and completion of the training program.
  3. Confirm Authenticity: Ensure they provide confirmation according to their records.

Reporting Authorities

For certificates submitted to a reporting authority such as the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) or the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE), these commissions may investigate certificate authenticity upon request.

Key Points:

  • Training Submission: Ensure that your training records have been properly submitted to the relevant authority.
  • Authority Investigation: POST or TCOLE can conduct investigations to verify the authenticity of your training credentials if needed.

Practical Benefits of Verification

Verifying the authenticity of your certificate provides several practical benefits:

  • Professional Credibility: Enhances your reputation and trustworthiness within the law enforcement community.
  • Career Advancement: Bolsters your eligibility for promotions and new job opportunities by showcasing verified training credentials.
  • Compliance: Ensures adherence to mandatory training requirements set by state commissions and accrediting bodies.
