Look for an agency that flies fixed wing only. The agency I work for only has planes so learning helo's was not an issue for me. The time to get a flying slot depends on the department. A lot of LE agencies want a minimum of 4-5 years on the road before applying for specialty positions. My agency only requires you be off probation ( 1 year).

Good luck with getting hired! It can be a long grueling process but it's worth it in the end.
