Can a retired peace officer maintain their TCOLE license?

Retired peace officers can indeed maintain their TCOLE license as long as they meet all renewal requirements. This means staying up-to-date with any training, continuing education, and other obligations stipulated by TCOLE. Maintaining the license allows retired officers to keep their professional credentials active, which can be beneficial if they choose to work in a capacity that requires their license, such as in consulting, training, or part-time law enforcement roles. This flexibility acknowledges the ongoing contributions and experience that retired peace officers can offer, even after they have left active duty.
