Abstract: Requires a seven-day notice to be provided to peace officers prior to a P.O.S.T.
revocation hearing date.
Present law provides the criteria for which a peace officer's P.O.S.T. certification must be
revoked. Additionally, it provides other criteria that may result in the revocation of a peace
officer's P.O.S.T. certification. All P.O.S.T. hearings are required to be conducted according
to the rules promulgated by the council.
Proposed law requires a seven-day notice to be provided to peace officers prior to a
revocation hearing.
