Peace officers: basic training requirements.
Summary
Existing law requires every peace officer to complete an introductory course of training prescribed by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, except for specifically exempted categories of peace officers, and imposes other training requirements on those persons who would exercise the powers of peace officers. Existing law provides that a probation department that is a certified provider of that training course shall not be required to offer the course to the general public. This bill would require the commission, when evaluating a certification request from a probation department for that training course, to deem there to be an identifiable and unmet need for the training course.
