Those are identified below and in later <br /> sections of the report. <br /> Department Training <br /> The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) sets minimum <br /> training requirements for peace officers in California. Officers are required to complete <br /> 24 hours of Continuous Professional Training with 18 hours specifically in five <br /> categories: Tactical Firearms: Driver Training and Awareness: Arrest and Control: <br /> Strategic Communication and Force Options. The City of Pleasanton is fortunate to <br /> provide department-wide training well above the POST mandate of 60 hours. In 2022, in <br /> addition to the department-wide training listed below, all sworn members will attend a <br /> standardized training curriculum designed by POST on the new statewide use of force <br /> laws presented by department instructors.
