Through professional training and personal education, an employee can achieve professional and personal excellence, as well as meet career goals. The University Police Department (UPD) will ensure its personnel possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to provide a professional level of service that meets the needs of the community. PURPOSE The purpose of the California State University Police Department’s Training Guide is to: 1) Meet Executive Order 1046, Section III. Training; 2) Conform to California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) mandates; 3) Enhance the level of law enforcement service to the public; 4) Increase the technical expertise and overall effectiveness of its personnel; and 5) Provide opportunities for continued professional development of department personnel. The UPD Training Guide is designed to identify the training needs and set training priorities for every rank and position and specialized assignment within the CSU’s University Police Department. It also outlines how often each training subject should be taken and the overall hours of each training topic. The guide should be used as an objective tool to bring uniformity and consistency to training and to provide employees with the greatest opportunity possible for success. This training guideline is to be used regularly by supervisors and managers to meet the training needs of their employees and to evaluate training requests from employees.The Police Department will strive to use a variety of training sources for the educational and professional development of its employees. Whenever possible, the department will use courses certified by POST. The Training Guide in no way identifies all of the training that will occur for the members of the University Police Department over the course of their career. Additionally, it does not guarantee that a member will receive all of the training identified for their position, only the training that has been identified as mandatory. TRAINING DEFINITIONS Training outlined within this guide is divided into three categories: Mandatory, Desirable and Professional Development. These categories provide guidance as to which training courses officers receive at the various stages of their career. The following defines each category: Mandatory —Courses in this category are required by POST, state or federal regulation, CSU or University Police department policy. They provide basic knowledge and foundation - al skills for each level of officer certification and are considered critical to the position. Desirable —These courses, though not required for compliance purposes, are considered a priority and should be completed as soon as possible. They provide fundamental, base-building training that will support officers throughout their career and help round out the skills they need to effectively serve their communities. Professional Development —Courses in this category will help officers in their professional development efforts and prepare them for promotion within their department. These courses focus on considered skills that will be needed in the future and may include optional training or training of specific interest to the individual. Ideally, officers would complete this training before promoting or moving to the next assignment. This development generally pro - vides additional competency training for those seeking to move up within the organization. 4 POST CERTIFICATION STANDARDS The following are the six primary certificates issued by the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, along with the requirements for each: Basic Certificate —The Basic Certificate is awarded, as defined in Commission Regu - lation 1011, to full-time peace officers of a POST-participating agency who have satisfac - torily completed the prerequisite Basic Course requirement and the probationary period of the employing agency.
