It depends on the state you are asking about. In Florida For instance it was 468 hours back then. In some states there was no requirement at all and it was all on the job training. Each state has what is called by some the POST group. Police Office Standards and Training. You can look up any states POST (called other things in some states, like Florida its CJSTC) and they should be able to tell you. Just Google "Police Officer Standards _____" and include the state you are looking for. Be safe..
