Peace Officer Standards and Training

Annual Training Certificate of Completion

Certificate of Completion

Each active peace officer in 2022 has been issued a certificate of completion titled “POST Annual Training Requirement” that expires on 6/30 of each year. When the requirements have been fulfilled, the certificate will be renewed for one year. This provides a convenient method for agencies from the portal to query the system for those officers who still need to meet the requirements.

Annual Training Requirements

To meet the training requirements and gain renewal of the certificate, each officer must have the following training recorded with ending dates between July 1st and June 30th of each year.

A combined minimum total of 40 hours from any training category, including “Agency-specific.”

*Training entered with an ending date of July 1st or greater will be applied to the following year.

Items to consider

Completing the POST waiver or reactivation process satisfies all the annual requirements and is automatically issued/renewed upon graduation.

Completing Special Function Officer, Law Enforcement Officer, or Basic Correctional Officer courses satisfy the requirement.

Agency View of Officer Status

From the Acadis portal, training coordinators and agency administrators can view officers’ renewal status of the certificate of completion. The expiration date of June 30th of the same year identifies officers who have not completed all requirements. The expiration date of the following year identifies officers who have met the requirements for the reporting year.

From the Acadis Portal, select “Workforce” > “Certification Compliance”.
