Failure to Obtain Continuing Education Training

PURPOSE: This rule identifies what occurs if a peace officer fails to obtain the necessary continuing law enforcement education training. (1) Pursuant to 11 CSR 75-15.010(11), it is the responsibility of every licensed peace officer to report and demonstrate to the director his or her compliance with the continuing law enforcement education (CLEE) training standard. (2) Beginning with the CLEE reporting period that ends on December 31, 2018, and every reporting period thereafter, licensed peace officers who fail to report and demonstrate they have successfully obtained the necessary CLEE training hours by the end of their respective reporting period, and who have not applied for a waiver or extension pursuant to 11 CSR 75-15.010(12), will automatically be given until March fifteenth of the following year to obtain any CLEE training hours that the officer may be deficient and demonstrate compliance to the director. (3) If by March fifteenth of the following year the licensed peace officer has not reported and demonstrated to the director his or her compliance with the CLEE training standard, the officer’s peace officer license may, at the discretion of the director, become inactive. Once a peace officer’s license becomes inactive, it may remain inactive until the licensee can report and demonstrate to the director compliance with the CLEE training standard. (4) Persons with an inactive peace officer license are ineligible to hold a commission as peace officer as defined in section 590.010, RSMo.
