Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 28, July 10, 2024
(a) Within 10 days after commencement of a
						basic course, the course director shall forward the course roster to the
						commissioner, on a form prescribed commissioner, listing the names and other
						information contained in the form and required by the council for all
						enrollees. At that time, a completed "Certification of Employment" form (DCJS
						2214-A) or other form approved by the commissioner shall be forwarded by the
						course director to the commissioner for each police officer enrolled in the
						course.
(b) The course director
						shall make written notification, to the commissioner, of any departures from
						the approved curriculum and shall be responsible for assuring that such changes
						do not materially change course content.
(c) If an officer resigns from a basic
						course, the course director shall complete a "Notification of
						Termination/Resignation" on a form prescribed by the commissioner and forward
						it to the commissioner within five days after said resignation. If an officer
						is terminated from a basic course, the course director shall complete a
						"Notification of Termination/Resignation" on a form prescribed by the
						commissioner and forward it to the commissioner at least five days in advance
						of said termination. Since exigent circumstances may not allow for submission
						of forms prior to termination, in such cases forms shall be forwarded within
						five days after such occurrence. Any failure relating to academic or physical
						standards which results in removal from a basic course shall be considered a
						termination.
(d) The course director
						shall ensure that the basic course is conducted in accordance with applicable
						standards, policies, and procedures. The course director shall establish
						written directives for the administration of the basic course including, but
						not limited to, attendance, counseling, remediation, and retesting. The
						directives shall define the minimum period of time set for remediation and
						provide for one or more opportunities for retesting.
(e) The course director and the sponsoring
						agency shall be responsible for maintaining accurate records for each basic
						course. These records shall be retained 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. They shall include, but not be limited to, lesson
						plans for each topic inclusive of objectives, officer attendance and
						performance records, a copy of the curriculum approved for use, a record of any
						changes in the curriculum after such approval, and completed "Supervised Field
						Training and Orientation Guides".
