Do you have what it takes to be a member of the Green Cove Springs Police Department? In addition to the state law enforcement officer requirements set by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, our agency requires that its law enforcement applicants possess a minimum of an Associate's Degree (AA/AS). This college requirement can be waived if an applicant possesses prior law enforcement experience or honorable military service. In general, our agency does not sponsor applicants to the law enforcement academy.
