How long will my certification remain inactive?

Certification that has become inactive because a person has left an agency's employment remains inactive for three years. If the person gets appointed by another agency before the three years has passed, certification can be reactivated without additional training. However, every appointment must be preceded by the entire background process, polygraph, and medical examination. If a person has not held a valid peace officer appointment for three years, AZPOST certification lapses and it is gone.
