(a) A basic, intermediate, or advanced certificate lapses if the holder is not employed as a police officer with a police department in this or another state or territory for a period of 12 consecutive months. For purposes of this subsection, "not employed" includes a suspension for disciplinary reasons.

(b) A person may request reinstatement of a lapsed certificate after serving an additional 12-month probationary period. A person shall attend a council-certified recertification academy described in 13 AAC 85.060(a)(4) as a condition of reinstatement if the person's certificate has been lapsed for 12 consecutive months or longer. A certificate expires if it has been lapsed for more than four years.
