The Department is committed to UCI’s mission of equity, diversity and inclusion through its training efforts . Training is provided to all personnel, as much as possible, within the confines of the needs of the agency, budgetary constraints, staffing requirements, legal mandates and the availability of timely, quality instruction. Whenever possible, the Department will utilize courses certified by POST for sworn personnel . However, when necessary to meet the needs of the agency, the Department may utilize training seminars, conferences and courses which are not certified by POST.
