September 21, 2000Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission--Administration of the Program; Regulation No. 17-62
On June 15, 1998, the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (Commission) received this proposed regulation from the Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission (Training Commission). This rulemaking amends 37 Pa. Code Chapter 203. The proposed regulation was published in the June 27, 1998 Pennsylvania Bulletin with a 30-day public comment period. The final-form regulation was submitted to the Commission on July 19, 2000. On August 8, 2000, the Training Commission tolled the review period to correct an inconsistency in the final-form regulation between the psychological examination requirements for municipal police officers and Pennsylvania State Police officers. On September 6, 2000, the Training Commission submitted a revised final-form regulation to the Commission.
This regulation clarifies existing requirements for officer qualifications, school standards and nonmandatory in-service training programs. The revisions also include an exemption from certain qualifications for applicants who have been employed as a municipal police officer or a Pennsylvania State Police officer within 2 years from the application date.
We have determined this regulation is consistent with the statutory authority of the Training Commission (53 Pa.C.S.A. §§ 2161--2171) and the intention of the General Assembly. Having considered all of the other criteria of the Regulatory Review Act, we find promulgation of this revised regulation is in the public interest.
By Order of the Commission:
This regulation is approved.
