Agency: Public Safety Line Item: Peace Officers' Standards and Training Function The Peace Officers' Standards and Training line item is responsible for the basic training in some form of all Utah peace officers. To fulfill this responsibility, POST operates and coordinates all basic recruit training programs for prospective law enforcement officers and an in-service training program for existing law enforcement officers. The POST Council, which includes representatives from a broad spectrum of law enforcement interests, also sets the standards for peace officer certification and review. The restricted funds that support POST training are from the Public Safety Support Fund, which is financed by surcharges on criminal fines. POST was created to ensure uniform and high quality standards and training for Utah law enforcement officers. POST also certifies certain academic and other agencies to provide training under programs reviewed and certified by POST. Statutory Authority for POST is found in UCA 53-6.

Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Basic Training Function Successful completion of a POST certified basic program is required of all new law enforcement officers in this state. The present facility and staff allow POST to train about 200-250 peace officers in six to eight basic training sessions per year. The full-time staff operates the academy, however, about 40 part-time certified instructors and professionals are utilized to teach the major portion of the various basic training courses. As of January 1, 1997, all candidates for POST basic training are required to pass an entrance examination to demonstrate minimum skills to become a peace officer. Law enforcement today is a professional career, which requires high standards of performance. POST has a statutory mandate in UCA 53-6-106, to: "Better promote and insure the safety and welfare of the citizens of this state...and to provide for more efficient and professional law enforcement." It is in the best interest of the citizens of the state to have a well-trained law enforcement officer force, which meets statewide standards regardless of the jurisdiction wherein service is performed.
