VACP LEECP Re-Certification Requirements
I. VACP MEMBERSHIP

Current membership in the VACP or VACLEA is no longer required for initial certification or re-certification. However, those who have remained members in good-standing for the duration of their prior three-year certification period will be eligible for the discounted re-certification program fee.

Those who have allowed their membership to lapse/expire will be charged the standard (non-member) rate for the re-certification program fee.

You may verify your membership status and/or pay any outstanding dues invoices by logging into your Member Compass.
Acknowledgement of Membership Eligibility Check for Discounted Program Fee*

I understand that my VACP/VACLEA membership status will be verified by VACP staff when reviewing my application for re-certification and I will be assessed accordingly for the program fee.
II. LEO CERTIFICATION TRAINING REQUIREMENTS

This was one of the original re-certification requirements established by Chief DeBoard. Is this question even necessary? Presumably if someone is duly employed as a sworn LEO (as attested in the next question), they have kept up their DCJS-required training.

Or do we want re-cert applicants to submit a copy of their TRACER record to verify?
Attestation of Required Training*

I attest that I have completed the requisite hours of DCJS-approved training every two years to maintain my certification as a Virginia law enforcement officer.
III. EMPLOYMENT AS SWORN VIRGINIA LEO

The VACP Law Enforcement Executive Certification Program is open only to those actively employed as a sworn law enforcement officer for a Virginia agency with primary law enforcement responsibility at the time of application.

At this time, we are not able to re-certify if you have moved into a non-sworn position, have taken a job as a sworn LE officer in another state, or you are presently unemployed/retired.
Attestation of Employment Status*

I attest that I am currently employed as a sworn law enforcement officer by a Virginia agency with primary law enforcement authority.
IV. VACP/VACLEA CONFERENCES

The VACP Law Enforcement Executive Certification Program currently requires regular participation in VACP/VACLEA Conferences in order to maintain VACP Law Enforcement Executive Certification.
- Certified Chief Executive Oficers must have attended on average 1 conference per year, or THREE (3) VACP/VACLEA Conferences in three (3) years.
- Certified Command Officers must have attended ONE (1) VACP/VACLEA Conference in three (3) years.
If you want to double-check your conference attendance record with us, you can review your Continuing Education Report in your Member Compass.

HOWEVER... we have received feedback that this current requirement towards re-certification is prohibitive or potentially unattainable due to scheduling conflicts, training budget limitations, or manpower issues. We are considering an "either/or" alternative to the conference participation requirement that would instead satisfy the demonstrated commitment to ongoing professional development.

If you know you've been unable to meet the current conference attendance requirement, please indicate as such below and proceed to the next page to provide alternative options for the committee to consider as demonstration of a continued committment to professional growth & development.
Acknowledgement of Conference Attendance Verification*

I believe that I have met the current VACP/VACLEA conference attendance requirement for my certification level and acknowledge that this attendance will be verified by VACP staff when reviewing my application for re-certification.I recognize that I have NOT been able to attend the current requisite number of VACP/VACLEA conferences and am instead submitting information and supporting documentation of alternative education, professional development and/or service commitments to renew my certification.
