Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) All supervisory course requirements,
						shall be completed as a single and cohesive unit.
(b) Attendance shall be required of each
						police officer at all sessions of the supervisory course except for valid
						reasons. The course director is authorized to determine the validity of and
						excuse absences of not more than 10 percent of the hours of instruction as
						provided from the curriculum of the course. An absentee from any scheduled
						class session shall make up such absence as required by the course
						director.
(c) A police officer who
						is unable to satisfactorily complete the full curriculum of a supervisory
						course due to excessive absence may apply for authorization to complete the
						requirements of that curriculum in an alternately approved supervisory course.
						Such applications shall be subject to the approval of the course director. If
						the course director approves the application, it shall be forwarded to the
						commissioner by the course director. The commissioner may authorize the officer
						to make up required hours at another supervisory course in satisfaction of the
						requirements for a certificate of completion. Such a determination shall be
						subject to review and approval by the council at its next scheduled meeting
						subsequent to such determination.
(d) Each police officer enrolled in a
						supervisory course shall keep a notebook. The notebook shall contain an outline
						of major points and pertinent information for each topic presented. The course
						director will evaluate notebooks based upon criteria such as content,
						organization, regularity of entries, accuracy and legibility.
(e) The taking and passing of a written
						examination(s) is required of each police officer prior to issuance of a
						certificate of completion. If a series of examinations is required by the
						course director, the candidate must achieve a total passing average for the
						series. The course director shall assemble examination material, give and
						supervise the examination(s), and grade the examination(s). The course director
						and sponsoring agency shall retain the examination papers as required by the
						appropriate schedule for records retention and disposition promulgated by the
						Commissioner of Education. Such records shall be available for inspection by
						members of the council or the commissioner.
(f) Upon certification by a course director
						stating that a police officer has satisfactorily completed all supervisory
						course requirements, the commissioner may issue a certificate of completion to
						such police officer.
(g) Receipt of
						the certificate of completion by a police officer shall be considered as
						fulfillment of the training obligation as set forth in section 209-q  of the General Municipal Law and
						shall not be construed as a limitation of the discretionary power of the
						appointing officer to terminate the services of a probationary police officer
						in the manner prescribed of by law.
(h) Only a sworn police officer enrolled in a
						course in police supervision is eligible for the issuance of a certificate of
						completion upon satisfactory completion of all course requirements.
