AI Summary: This regulation establishes comprehensive minimum standards for public safety training courses administered by the Department of Public Safety Standards and Training (DPSST). It covers multiple critical public safety roles, including police officers, corrections officers, parole and probation officers, telecommunicators, and emergency medical dispatchers. The regulation provides detailed guidelines for each training program, specifying exactly how many hours of training are required and what specific content must be included. It sets clear performance standards, such as minimum exam scores and use of force requirements, to ensure that public safety professionals are adequately prepared for their roles. A key feature of the regulation is its rigorous approach to training completion. It mandates that any missed training must be remediated, with students who are absent for more than 10% of course time potentially being withdrawn from the program. The regulation also requires comprehensive documentation for each course, including detailed attendance records, test results, and curriculum information. To maintain the quality and relevance of these training programs, the regulation requires annual certification of courses and allows for periodic audits by the Standards and Certification division. This ensures that training programs remain current and meet evolving public safety needs. The regulation reflects recent legislative changes, such as those introduced in Senate Bill 1510 in 2022, demonstrating an ongoing commitment to updating and improving public safety training standards. Status: Currently in effect, with provisions for regular review and update to ensure alignment with current public safety requirements and legislative mandates.
