| ISSUE, BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, & RECOMMENDATION |
| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to renew contracts with current presenters or other entities for presentation of courses of the Robert Presley Institute of Criminal Investigation (ICI) Program for FY 2015-16 in an amount not to exceed $3,534,607? |
| BACKGROUND: |
In 1995, pursuant to Penal Code section 13519.9, the Commission established an advanced training program called the Robert Presley Institute of Criminal Investigation (ICI) to meet the needs of criminal investigators. POST currently contracts with the following eight entities for presentation of the ICI training courses throughout California: Sacramento State University, State Center Regional Training Center - Fresno/Fresno City College, Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, San Diego Miramar College, San Francisco Police Department, San Diego Regional Training Center, and South Bay Regional Public Safety Training Consortium. Due to budgetary restrictions, Sacramento State University has withdrawn from the program and POST will not renew the contract with them for FY 15-16.
The contracts provide for course presentation costs, equipment acquisition and course research and development. |
| ANALYSIS: |
ICI provides cutting-edge training to prepare investigators to meet and manage the challenges of conducting complex criminal investigations. The program consists of a core investigations course, 14 foundation specialty courses (e.g., Sexual Assault Investigation, Child Abuse Investigation, and Officer Involved Shootings) and a series of elective investigative courses.
The Institute will include the use of seven approved contract presenters located around the state. This training is offered without tuition cost for participants in the POST Reimbursable Program.
A breakdown of training course presentation costs is described in Attachment A. |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends the Commission authorize the Executive Director to renew contracts with current presenters or other entities for delivery of courses of the Robert Presley Institute of Criminal Investigation (ICI) Training Program for FY 2015-16 in an amount not to exceed $3,534,607. |
