Chapter 1 Board of State and Community Corrections

Subchapter 1 Standards and Training of Local Corrections and Probation Officers

Article 1 General Provisions

Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 15, § 100 Introduction

The purpose of these regulations is to implement and make specific Chapter 1148 of the Statutes of 1979 as codified in Sections 6035- 6040 of the Penal Code. These provisions are contained in Articles 2 and 3 of Chapter 5 of Title 7 of Part 3 of the Penal Code entitled "Standards and Training of Local Corrections and Probation Officers" and "Corrections Training Fund."

Under the provisions of Article 3, a county or city may apply to the State Board of State and Community Corrections, hereafter referred to as the Board, for funds for training of eligible adult corrections officers, juvenile corrections officers, and probation officers to improve the level of competence of such staff. Such application and approval is governed by these regulations, policies, and procedures established by the Board, subject to the availability of funds.

Funds for this program are appropriated by the Legislature from the Corrections Training Fund which is derived from a percentage designated by law of the penalty assessments on bail forfeitures and fines levied by the courts.

It is the intent of the Board that each county and city have maximum flexibility in assessing and meeting its training needs consistent with the intent of the legislation and proper accountability of public funds.
