Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 6, March 15, 2024

PURPOSE: These amendments allow for additional training flexibility with the goal of covering these training topics in much greater detail. In the rule's current form, it requires the training provider to very briefly touch on multiple complex training topics instead of giving a detailed and proper course of instruction, which was not the intent of the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission.
