• Two years of progressively responsible experience which demonstrates the ability to learn and apply detailed and complex regulations and procedures that involve making sound judgments based on the application of directions, rules, regulations, or laws

•  Combination of education and experience as described above.

If you do not qualify based on education or experience alone, you can combine your education and experience by converting each to a percentage and then adding the percentages.

 If your education is currently described in quarter hours, convert the quarter hours into semester hours by multiplying the quarter hours by the fraction 2/3. (i.e. 45 x 2/3). To calculate your percentages of undergraduate education, divide your number of undergraduate semester hours by 60.

 Refer above for a description of the type of experience that is considered qualifying. To determine your percentages of qualifying experience, divide your total number of months of qualifying experience by 24.

 Finally, add your percentages of education and experience.  Two percentages must total at least 100% for you to qualify under the combination of education and experience.

Examples of qualifying experiences are:

• Work on a police force

• Served as military police officer

• Specialized military experience, i.e. decision-making and leadership ability

• Work providing visitor protection and law enforcement in parks, forest, or other natural resource or recreational environments

• Works performing criminal investigate duties
