Bill > SB302

This bill establishes a program at the Marion Military Institute that allows graduates to receive provisional certification as Alabama law enforcement officers through the Alabama Peace Officers' Standards and Training Commission (APOSTC). This means that upon graduation from the institute's program, which integrates basic training for law enforcement certification into its curriculum, students will be granted a provisional certification. This provisional certification will become a full certification once the graduate is hired as a full-time law enforcement officer by an Alabama agency, and they will not need to complete any further training. The APOSTC will recognize the Marion Military Institute as an official training academy for this purpose and will establish rules for the provisional certification process, including a minimum provisional period of six months, after which the certification will expire if the graduate is not hired. The bill also specifies that students in this program are not required to be employed full-time by a law enforcement agency while enrolled.
