Policy

Policy 1. The agency head is responsible for ensuring timely compliance with the Board on Jail Officer Standards and Training requests for information. Out of date, incomplete or illegible forms will be returned. The Board director relies on the information contained on Board forms as the basis for recommendations for certification and implementation of the requirements of the Jail Officers Training Program. Warning: MCA § 97-7-10 “Fraudulent Statements and Representations” provides for severe penalties for misrepresentations or fraudulent statements made to a Board. This statute authorizes a fine of up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) and a jail sentence of up to five (5) years. Further, the Jail Officers Training Program authorizes the Board in MCA § 45-4-9 (5)(b) to cancel and recall any certificate obtained through misrepresentation or fraud.
