OFFICER TRAINING <br /> Providing high quality and cost-effective training for the Pequot Lakes Police personnel continues to be a <br /> priority. Professional training benefits the officers,the department, and the communities in which we <br /> serve. The department benefits by having well trained police officers, thus minimizing department <br /> liability. The communities also realize the benefits of having officers who have a well-rounded base of <br /> knowledge and experience in a variety of areas. <br /> j A_ <br /> )rial <br /> a <br /> The Minnesota State Peace Officer Standards and Training <br /> board (P.O.S.T.) and the Federal Government, through the <br /> Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), 1 <br /> continues to place training mandates on law enforcement. <br /> Our department continues to identify and use its resources to <br /> accomplish these standards. (P.O.S.T.) Board requires Officers "� q <br /> to complete 48 hours/credits of continuing education every - <br /> three years to remain licensed. <br /> During 2015, one of our training resources was through <br /> "Patrol On-Line". This is computer based trainings which <br /> cover POST Board Trainings as well as OSHA mandated <br /> trainings. With this program, they continue to add additional <br /> topics as our legislators continue to pass laws that are often <br /> extremely complicated, unfunded, and have very little <br /> guidance regarding proper criminal procedure for officers to <br /> follow. <br /> ® 2015 Pequot Lakes Police Department Annual Report <br />
