30 - PEACE OFFICER TRAINING

The Peace Officer Training Program provides financial assistance to participating jurisdictions for instructional costs associated with selected training courses. Funding is also provided for the cost of student travel and per diem expenses associated with training presentations and for necessary overtime to enable line officers to receive in-service training in areas of critical need. To encourage and assist local law enforcement agencies to meet and maintain minimum standards in the selection and training of law enforcement officers, the Commission provides financial assistance to all 58 counties, approximately 346 cities, and numerous specialized districts and local agencies which have agreed to meet the Commission's standards.
