Annual Pursuit Training PC 13519.8 Compliance
To comply with PC 13519.8, all sworn personnel, excluding Detention Deputy
Classifications, who are authorized to operate a Code 3 (marked/unmarked) equipped
vehicle, must have mandatory pursuit training on an annual basis. To maintain
compliance with this state statute the Training Section has developed a PowerPoint
presentation and driving test on SheriffNet. The reading of the PowerPoint, which
includes pursuit training, and the taking of the driving test will satisfy the annual pursuit
training requirement of PC 13519.8. The review of the PowerPoint and taking of the test
will have to be completed on an annual basis at the beginning of each year. Supervisors
will assure their personnel complete the training and driving test each year.
