What Happens if the Training Requirement is Not Met?
•
•
• The individual who fails to meet the CE requirements for that reporting period will have his/her certificate suspended until he/she successfully fulfills the CE requirements for that reporting period and provides supporting documentation that complies with this chapter.  CE hours received by a suspended officer in a new reporting period will be credited to the previous reporting period (deficient year) until the deficiency is made up.  CE hours used to clear up an old deficiency cannot be credited to the new reporting period (e.g., the same training cannot be counted twice).

• Officers who fail to meet the CE requirements during the first year of the effective date of this regulation shall not be subject to the sanctions mentioned in this section.  The sanctions will take effect after completion of the second reporting period.

• Any individual who fails to fulfill CE requirements for two (2) consecutive reporting periods, where waivers have not been granted for those periods, evidences conduct which is indicative of incompetence, neglect of duty and physical, mental and emotional incapacity to perform the duties of a law enforcement officer or reserve officer in this state and will constitute grounds for revocation of his/her law enforcement certificate.
