Section 9-2 - Reserve police officer academy certification

(a) A department acting alone, or two (2) or more departments acting together, may develop a reserve police officer academy and apply to the board for certification of the academy. An academy certified by the board as a reserve police officer academy must use board-certified instructors and a board-approved curriculum.

(b) Equipment and training facilities, including classrooms used by towns, cities, counties, or agencies or departments of the state to conduct a reserve police officer academy, shall be subject to inspection and approval by the board through its executive director or a designee.

(c) The minimum curriculum, attendance requirements, learning objectives, lecture outlines, examinations, and other instructional materials used for reserve police officer training in the reserve police officer academy are subject to inspection and approval by the board, through its executive director or a designee, prior to the beginning date of each reserve police officer class. Additionally, the board, through its executive director or a designee, may visit any reserve police officer academy at any time a class is in session to ensure compliance with the board's requirement for curriculum, attendance, learning objectives, lecture outlines, examinations, and other instructional materials and may suspend or revoke, immediately, the certification of any reserve police officer academy operating in violation of this rule.

(d) As a guideline for departments considering establishing a reserve police officer academy, or seeking certification for an academy already in existence, the board will, uniformly, require that the curriculum, attendance requirements, learning objectives, lecture outlines, examinations, and other instructional materials meet the standards of 250 IAC 2-4.
