TRAINING <br /> Providing high quality and cost-effective training for the Pequot Lakes Police personnel <br /> continues to be a priority. Professional training benefits the officers, the department, <br /> and the communities in which we serve. The department benefits by having well trained <br /> police officers, thus minimizing department liability. The communities also realize the <br /> benefits of having officers who have a well-rounded base of knowledge and experience in <br /> a variety of areas. <br /> 411110, .4.011111010. _ <br /> , 1 * 1110# INK - - <br /> --* 'Aii,' i , iiLIIIIIIIIMrie <br /> 1 y t <br /> 1, z a s n 3 <br /> The Minnesota State Peace Officer Standards and Training board (P.O.S.T.) and the <br /> Federal Government, through the Occupational Safety and Health Administration <br /> (OSHA), continues to place training mandates on law enforcement. Our department <br /> continues to identify and use its resources to accomplish these standards. (P.O.S.T.) <br /> Board requires Officers to complete 48 hours/credits of continuing education every three <br /> years to remain licensed. <br /> During 2014, one of our training resources was through "Patrol On-Line". This is <br /> computer based trainings which cover POST Board Trainings as well as OSHA <br /> mandated trainings. With this program, they continue to add additional topics as our <br /> legislators continue to pass laws that are often extremely complicated, unfunded, and <br /> have very little guidance regarding proper criminal procedure for officers to follow. <br /> 9 <br />
