The Commission on POST is financed through a Special Fund known as the Peace Officer Training Fund. The Commission is provided a monthly update on the revenue collected by the State Controller’s Office and distributed by the California Department of Finance. POST depends on this revenue to perform its legal obligations to the State of California. Revenues collected for Fiscal Year 2015-16 are 2.7% lower than for Fiscal Year 2104-15.

If the Finance Committee concurs, the appropriate action would be a RECOMMENDATION to the Commission to approve the Report on Revenue for the Fiscal Year 2015-16.

In 2015 Attorney General Kamala Harris established a Principled Policing Task Force that focused on the development of Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias training for law enforcement executives.  This course was highly successful and revealed the need to develop training for all levels of law enforcement personnel.

POST has collaborated with the California Department of Justice to develop a one-day course for in-service personnel and a two-day train the trainer course.

In July 2016 POST received five million dollars to develop and present training over the next six years.  POST will enter into contracts with qualified vendors to present this training throughout California.

If the Commission concurs the appropriate action would be a ROLL CALL VOTE to approve the Executive Director to enter into contracts with qualified vendors for the presentation of Principled Policing: Procedural Justice and Implicit Bias training and mentoring programs for FY 2016-17 in an amount not to exceed $183,600.
