Who is responsible for developing POST training standards?

The California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training is the entity responsible for developing training standards for peace officers in California. This commission, commonly known as POST, was established to ensure that law enforcement personnel and agencies maintain a high level of professionalism and competency. It develops various training curricula, certification standards, and assessment criteria based on the needs of law enforcement, as well as to comply with state regulations.

POST plays a crucial role in setting the baseline for what is required of peace officers, including the knowledge and skills that must be demonstrated for effective law enforcement. By establishing these standards, POST ensures consistency and quality in law enforcement training across the state, which ultimately enhances public safety and trust in law enforcement agencies.
