The Police Training Commission (PTC)
staff, under the authority of the Police Training Act, are responsible
for the development and certification of basic training courses
for county and local police, sheriffs' officers, state and county
investigators, state and county corrections officers, juvenile
detention officers, and a number of other law enforcement positions,
as well as several instructor development courses. Training courses
are revised and updated on an ongoing basis as necessitated by
legislation, court decisions, and advances in technology and the
state of knowledge regarding law enforcement practices.
Commission staff are responsible
for the certification of training course curricula, training course
instructors, trainees, and academies authorized to conduct any
of the 35 PTC-certified training courses. Moreover, PTC staff
develop operational guidelines to implement applicable training
standards, monitor the operation of all PTC certified academies,
review all trainee injuries, investigate possible violations of
the Police Training Act or PTC rules occurring during authorized
training courses, and handle appeals involving challenges to PTC
decisions regarding, for example, trainee dismissals from PTC-certified
courses, training waivers, and drug screening practices of PTC-certified
academies.
