BART, in accordance with the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) requires officers to complete a minimum of 24 hours of continued professional training every two years, including a minimum of four hours training in Tactical Firearms or Force Options Simulator. The BART Police Department also provides at least one 10-hour firearms training day per year with additional semi-annual qualifications.
