Summary

Existing law establishes in the Department of Justice the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. Existing law requires the commission to adopt, and authorizes the commission to amend, rules establishing minimum standards relating to physical, mental, and moral fitness that govern the recruitment of various peace officers, including city police officers and peace officer members of a county sheriff's office. Existing law also requires the commission to carry out various duties related to peace officer education and training, including, among other duties, establishing a certificate program for peace officers, making inquiries to ensure adherence to standards for the recruitment and training of peace officers, and implementing specified courses of instruction in procedures applicable in specific circumstances, such as domestic violence and child abuse or neglect. Existing law authorizes the commission to adopt those regulations as are necessary to carry out the purposes of these provisions relating to peace officer standards and training. This bill would enact the Maritime Police Officer Standards Training Act of 2012. The bill would require, as a condition of receiving state aid related to peace officer training, every peace officer who is assigned to a jurisdiction that includes waterborne environments to complete a Peace Officer Standards and Training course in basic maritime law for law enforcement officers. The bill would require the course of instruction to include, among other things, boat handling, navigation rules, and comprehensive training regarding maritime boardings, arrest procedures, and counterterrorism practices and procedures. The bill would require that the curriculum be consistent with federal doctrine and current tactical training. The bill would require the commission to develop and implement a course or course of instruction for the training of law enforcement officers in basic maritime law for law enforcement officers consistent with these requirements, and to develop and adopt any regulations necessary to carry out these provisions. The bill would also require the commission to identify those jurisdictions in which these provisions would apply. The bill would provide that these provisions would become operative only when sufficient funding is made available, as specified.
