Pursuant to sections §§ 24-31-303 (1)(g), (l) and (m), and 24-31-307(1), C.R.S., the Colorado Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (POST) has the authority and duty to promulgate and amend specific rules and regulations as further specified herein to further facilitate the requirements of SB 20-217. |

• Clearly set forth the required time for the submission of fingerprints to CBI for persons enrolling in training academies;
• Provide that all persons seeking to apply for provisional or renewal certification must submit fingerprints to CBI as part of the application process;
• Provide a recommendation that an applicant’s fingerprints be submitted electronically, unless this is not possible, in which case the applicant may submit fingerprints using a POST fingerprint card;
• Require that applicants enrolling in a basic or reserve training academy be fingerprinted, and require the academy to submit such fingerprints to CBI; and
• To provide that fingerprint results shall be valid throughout the certification process and through the life of the certification. |
