Annual Pursuit Training PC 13519.8 Compliance
To be in compliance with PC 13519.8, all sworn personnel, with the exception of
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 Power Point presentation and driving test on SheriffNet. The reading of the
power point, which includes pursuit training, and the taking of the driving test will satisfy
the annual pursuit training requirement of PC 13519.8.
