I am a pilot for guardian air in Flagstaff and work with DPS a lot. I know for a fact the pilots don't work on the ground for three years before they fly. They hire straight into the rotor wing pilot position. They do want you to go to the academy which is like 16 weeks, but it isn't a requirement.
