Section 6026.2 - Statement of purpose

(a) The purpose of this Part is to set forth minimum standards for a pre-employment police basic training course, including, but not limited to, subject matter and time allotments, requirements for administration of the course-by-course directors, and rules governing attendance and completion of such course.

(b) The pre-employment police basic training course is an alternative method of police officer basic training to that set forth in Part 6020 of this Title and is designed to be completed by civilians. An individual who successfully completes a pre-employment police basic training course must complete additional training after appointment as a sworn police officer in order to fulfill requirements set forth in section 209-q of the General Municipal Law. Provided, however, nothing in this Part shall preclude a sworn police officer from attending a pre-employment police basic training course.

(c) Use of a pre-employment police basic training course is not required and the determination to utilize this alternative method of training shall be within the discretion of each employer. An employer may require an individual who has been appointed as a sworn police officer and who previously successfully completed a pre-employment basic course to complete the basic course for police officers as set forth in Part 6020 of this Title.
