How often must a peace officer complete POST recertification training?

Peace officers in California are required to complete POST recertification training every two years to maintain their certification. This biennial requirement ensures that peace officers stay updated on current laws, policies, and practices that affect their duties. By undergoing training every two years, officers are better prepared to handle the dynamic nature of law enforcement, including changes in legislation, technology, and community relations. This regular training cycle is part of a broader effort to enhance public safety and ensure that officers possess the necessary skills and knowledge to serve effectively.
