Out of Work Cops Might Get Some Help
The Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee has approved a bill that would exempt police officers who were laid-off for budget or efficiency reasons from retaking the basic police training course, if they’re rehired by their former agency or find a job with a new agency within five years from the date their employment was terminated. Under the current Police Training Commission policy, a police officer who has a break in service of more than three years is required to retake the basic training course.
