do you think it's ok for LEO to be on the street(for 6mo-1yr) without being cleet certified. it's pretty common around here (accorrding to my ccw instructor). i hate to think how someone like this could cost me thousands in legal fees, because of his/her ignorance of the law. would you hire a lawyer who was "about to" pass the bar. is this common practice everywhere?
on the street, without CLEET?

Some states don't even have a CLEET equivalent from what I understand. If the officer is teamed with an experienced officer until he receives whatever certification is required in his jurisdiction, I don't see the problem. Giving the officer a badge and a gun without supervision is bad news.
In Oklahoma, security guards can work for up to six months before getting CLEET certification, however, they can't be armed until they take the armed security officer class and pass the armed security officer test. Most security companies require the officer to qualify with his duty weapon before being allowed to carry it and require regular requalifications.

If you are referring to CLEAT (Combined Law Enforcement Association of Texas), I am assuming you are a Texas Peace Officer, and yes you should have joined CLEAT or one of the other police associations in Texas that provides legal services for its members the day you graduated the academy.
I do not know about the other states or what CLEET is.
Just my .02,

CLEET = Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training
It's an Oklahoma police officer training and standards group.

I'm use to hearing POST. (CA & NV use the term)

I believe Utah uses POST too...Oregon uses Board of Police Standards and Training or BPST.
In every dept you will have rookies that haven't completed all their training, and ride with an FTO (field training officer). You may have different levels of "completion" before they become fully certified.
