| ISSUE, BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, & RECOMMENDATION |
| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Interagency Agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for FY 2014-15 to present the described training courses for an amount not to exceed $519,890? |
| BACKGROUND: |
| POST has contracted with the (DOJ) to present certified courses since 1974. The amount of the agreement each year is based upon actual presentation costs to DOJ for instruction, coordination, clerical support, supplies, and travel. Training needs assessment information including mandated courses and agency feedback influence which courses are included in the contract. Individual course budgets are developed in accordance with existing certification requirements. |
| ANALYSIS: |
The Department of Justice provides quality, highly technical training courses that are not readily available through other presenters. Response from the field indicates a continued interest and need for these courses.
At the request of the presenter, the funding for two courses, Cold Case and Computer Forensics - Mactintosh/Linux, are not included in this years' agreement.
The contract for FY 2014-15 is $51 less than the amount approved for FY 2013-14.
The course cost breakdown is reflected in Attachment A. |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends the Commission authorize the Executive Director to enter into an Interagency Agreement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) for FY 2014-15 to present the described training courses for an amount not to exceed $519,890. |
