How often must Basic Peace Officers complete their mandated CE courses?

Basic Peace Officers are required to complete their mandated continuing education (CE) courses every four years. This requirement ensures that officers stay current with any changes in laws, policies, and best practices relevant to law enforcement. Regularly updating their knowledge and skills is essential for maintaining professionalism and effectiveness in their roles.

The four-year cycle allows sufficient time for officers to apply the knowledge gained from these courses in their daily duties, while also keeping pace with evolving standards in law enforcement. This periodic refresher contributes to enhanced public safety and allows officers to better serve their communities. The other options do not align with the regulatory requirements for CE, which specifically stipulate a four-year timeline for completion.
