If a peace officer seeks a transfer from another agency and has a POST Basic Certificate, does s/he still need to be screened against these selection requirements?
A.Yes. POST peace officer training requirements (Commission Regulations 1005 and 1007) are separate and independent from peace officer selection requirements. The screening requirements in Regulations 9050-9055 must be met even by those who possess a POST academy completion certification and/or a POST Basic Certificate.
