Alabama Peace Officer’s Standards and Training Commission -
In today's rapidly changing society, it is imperative that those charged with
the enforcement of our laws receive the very best training, both basic and
advanced. Nowhere in Alabama, or the South, is this commitment to
excellence in law enforcement training more emphasized or evident than at
the Alabama Criminal Justice Training Center.
The Training Center, operated by the Alabama Department of Public
Safety, has led the way in law enforcement training in Alabama. The
Department of Public Safety has assumed the major responsibility of
training its own officers since its formation in 1935. In 1954, some 17 years
before enactment of laws concerning peace officer's standards and
training, the Department established the Alabama Police Academy. Since
that beginning, thousands of officers, civilians and military, have received
training at a minimal cost to their respective departments at this, the oldest,
most completely equipped, certified law enforcement training facility in
Alabama.
The Training Center is dedicated to quality, professional law enforcement
training. This is the sole purpose for its existence and its only mission.

California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) - The Commission on
Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) was established by the Legislature in 1959 to set minimum
selection and training standards for California law enforcement. The POST organization, with more than 130
staff members, functions under the direction of an Executive Director appointed by the Commission.
POST funding comes from the Peace Officers' Training Fund (POTF). The POTF receives monies from the
State Penalty Assessment Fund, which in turn receives monies from penalty assessments on criminal and
traffic fines. Therefore, the POST program is funded primarily by persons who violate the laws that peace
officers are trained to enforce. No tax dollars are used to fund the POST program.
The POST program is voluntary and incentive-based. Participating agencies agree to abide by the standards
established by POST. The more than 600 agencies in the POST program are eligible to receive the
Commission's services and benefits, such as job-related assessment tools, research into improved officer
selection standards, management counseling services, the development of new training courses,
reimbursement for training, and quality leadership training programs. POST also awards professional
certificates to recognize peace officer achievement and proficiency.

Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) - Minnesota’s first step
toward regulating the practice of law enforcement came in 1967 when the Minnesota Peace Officer Training
Board (MPOTB) was created by the legislature. Beginning in 1968, MPOTB’s responsibilities included
certification of agencies offering police academy training. The certification of training programs was an
attempt to standardize police training in the state.
In 1977 the Minnesota legislature debated the role of law enforcement in society and then passed several
amendments to the original MPOTB legislation. These amendments abolished the MPOTB and replaced it
with the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST Board). The mission of the new
Minnesota POST Board was to create the first law enforcement occupational licensing system in the United
States. This system established law enforcement licensing and training requirements and set standards for
law enforcement agencies and officers.
Although the POST Board is an independent state agency, it does receive some administrative and technical
support from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

Board (MPOTB) was created by the legislature. Beginning in 1968, MPOTB’s responsibilities included
certification of agencies offering police academy training. The certification of training programs was an
attempt to standardize police training in the state.
In 1977 the Minnesota legislature debated the role of law enforcement in society and then passed several
amendments to the original MPOTB legislation. These amendments abolished the MPOTB and replaced it
with the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST Board). The mission of the new
Minnesota POST Board was to create the first law enforcement occupational licensing system in the United
States. This system established law enforcement licensing and training requirements and set standards for
law enforcement agencies and officers.
Although the POST Board is an independent state agency, it does receive some administrative and technical
support from the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
The Mississippi Law Enforcement Officers' Training Academy (MLEOTA) is located on 243
acres in Rankin County, 10 miles outside of Jackson near the Mississippi State Hospital and the Central
Mississippi Correctional Facility. The mission of the academy is to enhance the public safety in Mississippi by
providing professional law enforcement training to state, county, and local law enforcement agencies.
