Commission regulation requires in-service peace officers to complete 14 hours of perishable skills training every 24 months. These skills include training in arrest and control techniques, communication, driving, and tactical firearms. These skills are high liability and managed risk areas for peace officers and law enforcement agencies, and it has been determined that certain psycho-motor skills need to be regularly refreshed.
Contracting for LEDS and FOS training assists officers in meeting the biennial perishable skills training requirement, and provides them with the highest level of training in these hands-on critical skills.
POST utilizes subject matter experts to identify trends and factors contributing to felonious and vehicle related officer deaths. The critical training issues identified are published in the POST Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted Report (LEOKA), and the information is used to update the scenarios for both Law Enforcement Driving Simulators and Force option simulators.
The LEDS and FOS systems were made available by POST to law enforcement agencies at the Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and various law enforcement agencies. A breakdown of the proposed presenters and course costs is contained in Attachment A.
This project is supported by POST Strategic Plan Objectives A.1 California law enforcement agencies are prepared to address emerging trends and challenges, A.1.3 Review and update Continuous Professional Training (CPT) and Perishable Skills Program (PSP) and A.1.4 Enhance and continue study of driver training methods and vehicle related high-risk activities to improve training and enhance safety.
