Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission Regulation #17-68 (IRRC #2501)
Administration of the Training Program
December 14, 2005 We submit for your consideration the following comments on the proposed rulemaking published in the October 15, 2005 Pennsylvania Bulletin. Our comments are based on criteria in Section 5.2 of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5b). Section 5.1(a) of the Regulatory Review Act (71 P. S. § 745.5a(a)) directs the Municipal Police Officers' Education and Training Commission (Training Commission) to respond to all comments received from us or any other source.
1. Section 203.35. Emergency suspension of school certification.--Reasonableness; Clarity.
In this section, the Training Commission is deleting provisions which state how a school can correct conditions which led to a suspension of the school's certification and how the results of a reinspection will be communicated to the school. The deleted provisions contain valuable information which does not appear to be listed elsewhere in the Training Commission's existing regulations. The final-form regulation should specify the procedures to be undertaken by a school to correct violations as well as the reinspection procedures to be followed by the Training Commission.
2. Section 203.37. Minimum standards for school directors.--Reasonableness; Clarity.
Grandfathering
This section establishes minimum education and experience requirements for school directors. However, the regulation does not specify if current school directors will be grandfathered or if they will be given a certain time frame within which they must demonstrate compliance with the requirements after the regulation is effective. The final-form regulation should either contain a grandfathering provision or establish a time frame for current school directors to demonstrate compliance.
Paragraph (4)
This paragraph lists one of the minimum professional experience requirements as ''Possess experience and ability as an instructor.'' This requirement is vague. The type and duration of experience required should be specified. Additionally, the regulation should state how the Training Commission will evaluate an individual's ''ability as an instructor,'' and what documentation an individual must provide to demonstrate ability.
