Law Enforcement Officers in the State of California are required to
constantly be trained, and updated in changes in the law and procedures to
assist them in performing their duties. Unlike many other professions,
Deputy Sheriffs as well as other law enforcement officers are required by
law to complete training requirements in areas mandated through
legislation by the state of California. The completion of training in
these required areas is organized, controlled and recorded by the
Commission on Peace Officers Standards and Training, POST.
