Full Job Description

JOB SUMMARY

Position: Law Enforcement Officer (Recruit)
Agency: Cocoa Police Department, Florida

The Cocoa Police Department is a CFA-accredited, community-focused law enforcement agency serving more than 20,000 residents in Brevard County, Florida. The department is comprised of approximately 71 sworn officers and utilizes modern law-enforcement technology, active specialty units, and strong neighborhood partnerships to deliver professional policing services.

Under the general supervision of a Police Sergeant, Police Officer Trainees are full-time, non-sworn employees sponsored by the Cocoa Police Department to attend a Florida Basic Law Enforcement Academy. Trainees are paid while attending the academy and perform administrative, observational, and training-related duties when not in class. This position requires professionalism, integrity, accountability, and the ability to meet academic, physical, and ethical standards in preparation for appointment as a sworn Police Officer.

This posting is intended for individuals not currently certified as Florida law enforcement officers who are seeking sponsorship to attend a Florida Basic Law Enforcement Academy and pursue a career as a sworn Police Officer with the Cocoa Police Department.

COMPENSATION & INCENTIVES

•
Starting pay (Trainee): $21.27 per hour

•
Employment status: Full-time employee with full benefits while attending the academy

Incentives include:
•
$2,000 bonus upon successful completion of the Florida Basic Law Enforcement Academy

•
$2,000 bonus upon successful completion of the department's Field Training Program

•
$5,000 State of Florida recruitment incentive upon certification (if eligible)

Upon graduation from the academy and successful completion of the State Officer Certification Examination (SOCE), trainees are appointed as sworn Police Officers with the following pay:

•
Police Officer starting pay: $26.52 per hour (approximately $55,161.60 annually)

•
Projected top-out: $92,331.20

The department provides all required duty equipment upon certification and offers take-home vehicles, including out-of-county authorization within established mileage limits, subject to department policy. The agency is beard-friendly, tattoo-friendly, and outer-vest friendly, in accordance with departmental standards.

EQUIVALENCY OF TRAINING (EOT) – IMPORTANT NOTICE

Applicants who possess prior out-of-state or federal full-time sworn law enforcement experience may be eligible for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Equivalency of Training (EOT) pathway instead of the recruit academy.

Applicants with prior law enforcement experience should contact GovSource to determine eligibility and obtain CJSTC Form 76. GovSource is an official FDLE Assessment Center and provides eligibility review, Form 76 processing, academy registration, and coordination for the FDLE Equivalency of Training program.
