| ISSUE: |
| Should the Commission approve, subject to the Notice of Proposed Regulatory Action process, the revision to Commission Regulation 1081 as reflected in the attachment? |
| BACKGROUND: |
Commission Regulation 1081’s minimum standards for legislatively mandated courses covers a variety of topics, one of which is Human Trafficking training. According to Regulation 1081, ‘Human Trafficking Training’ sub section (7) reads as follows: “Participating in the Human Trafficking Training course or courses by peace officers or the agencies employing them is voluntary.”
Currently, California Penal Code 13519.14(e) (See Attachment B) states “every law enforcement officer who is assigned to field or investigative duties shall complete a minimum of two hours of training in a course or courses of instruction pertaining to the handling of Human Trafficking complaints as described in subdivision (a) by July 1, 2014, or within six months of being assigned to that position, whichever is later.” |
| ANALYSIS: |
| Currently, Commission Regulation 1081 Human Trafficking training verbiage does not align with California Penal Code 13519.14(e). The proposed changes to Commission Regulation 1081 (See Attachment A) would eliminate confusion. Specifically, changing "voluntary" to "required." |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| POST staff recommend, subject to the Notice of Proposed Regulatory Action process, the Commission approve the amendments to Regulation 1081 as described in this report. |
