Summary

Existing law establishes the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, and requires the commission to, among other things, establish a certification program for peace officers, as defined. Existing law requires the commission, in consultation with specified subject matter experts, to develop guidelines and a course of instruction and training for law enforcement officers, including, but not limited to, hate crimes, elder and dependent abuse, and stalking. This bill would require peace officers assigned primarily to traffic enforcement to complete a National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) -approved standard field sobriety testing course of a minimum of 16 hours within one year of their assignment and, if an officer leaves employment with a law enforcement agency and does not become employed by a law enforcement agency within 2 years of their departure date, would require the officer to complete any of several specified commission-certified training courses, including a NHTSA refresher course if they are assigned to traffic enforcement. Because this bill would require additional training for local peace officers, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
