No. 686

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 686, as introduced, Alanis. Peace officer training: testing.

Existing law requires the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to adopt standards regarding the training of peace officers and to allow required training to be obtained at approved institutions. Existing law requires the commission, for those instances where individuals have acquired prior comparable peace officer training, to adopt regulations providing for alternative means for satisfying the training required by a specified provision of law.

This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to this provision.
