Comparative Compliance

Comparative Compliance Training Course is an abbreviated entrance level program designed for previously certified Maryland police officers who have been separated from law enforcement between 3 and 5 years, and non-Maryland officers who completed an acceptable entrance level academy in another state or through the federal government. Training topics include Maryland criminal and traffic law, juvenile law and procedures, and advanced first aid.

Attendees must be employed by a Maryland police agency, and have received a waiver from the Police Training & Standards Commission as regulated by COMAR 12.04.01.14 Subsection E “Waiver of an Entrance-Level Training Standard.” Entrance level firearms qualification should be completed by the hiring agency. For more information, view the Comparative Compliance Requests details.

NEW for 2026: All students must be provisionally certified prior to acceptance into the MPCTC Comparative Compliance class. The Application for Certification (AFC) must be submitted to MPCTC Certifications at least one month prior to the course start date in order to meet the deadline. Provisional certification is defined under COMAR 12.04.01.03 Provisional Certification. Please note that for full police officer certification, all other selection standards set forth in COMAR 12.04.01.08 must be met.
