Trainings

Post January 21, 2020

In October 2018, then Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 978 (SB 978) into law. Effective January 1, 2020, the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) and each local law enforcement agency are required to “conspicuously post” on their Internet Web sites “all current standards, policies, practices, operating procedures [posted separately as Policy], and education and training materials [posted below] that would otherwise be available to the public” if a request was made pursuant to the California Public Records Act (CPRA).[1]

SB 978 specifies that by imposing this requirement on local law enforcement agencies, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program; therefore, resulting costs to agencies are reimbursable from the state.
