| ISSUE, BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, & RECOMMENDATION |
| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to renew contracts with Napa Valley College and the San Diego Regional Training Center or other entities for the presentation of Instructor Development Institute Training Program courses for FY 2015-16 in an amount not to exceed $1,039,774? |
| BACKGROUND: |
Commission Regulation 1009 requires instructors in a Regular Basic Course (RBC) to comply with the requirements of the Academy Instructor Certification Program (AICP). This program includes successful completion of the Academy Instructor Certification Course (AICC) and subsequent triennial re-certification.
POST currently contracts with two entities for presentation of Instructor Development Institute (IDI) training courses. Napa Valley College (NVC) presents instructor courses at the basic and specialized levels for public safety dispatchers. San Diego Regional Training Center (SDRTC) presents instructor training courses at the intermediate, advanced and master levels for law enforcement trainers. |
| ANALYSIS: |
To provide the IDI Program, POST contracts with qualified presenters who are strategically located to facilitate the courses within reasonable commuter distance for students statewide.
The IDI programs not only allow students to meet POST Regulation
requirements, but enhances their course development and facilitation
skills which raises the quality of the courses presented at the basic
and in-service levels.
The contract with Napa Valley College (NVC) includes the IDI training for instructors of the Public Safety Dispatcher's (PSD) Basic Course. The training contract for NVC totals $191,092.
The contract with San Diego Regional Training Center (SDRTC) includes program management, Advanced and Master IDI level course presentations, and IDI Intermediate Certification (the second level of the IDI Program). which includes a 24-hour Core Course and multiple one-day instructor development training courses that assist instructors to meet the triennial re-certification requirement of eight hours every three years. In addition, SDRTC provides IDI curricula development that is essential to keep the program at the leading edge of instructor training. The training contract for SDRTC is $848,682.
A breakdown of the cost of the IDI contracts is provided in Attachment A. |
