An exception would be a course pilot presentation that is determined to meet amended curriculum, hourly, and/or course certification requirements, in which case, POST certification and presentation approval may be granted. In addition to meeting the amended curriculum, hourly, and/or course certification requirements, a pilot presentation must meet any additional requirements set forth in Commission Regulations 1052, 1054, 1055, 1056, and 1059. Any course attendee who has successfully completed a POST-certified pilot presentation shall receive credit for the training (thus satisfying the training mandate) even though the training occurred prior to the adoption of the training mandate or required curriculum/hours. POST has established the following process for approval and implementation of a pilot presentation:

    1. (1) Any interested person may submit a request for a pilot presentation, in writing, to the Executive Director. Each request shall minimally include the purpose, fiscal impact, desired outcome, implementation plan, and evaluation method of the pilot presentation;

    2. (2) POST Staff will determine whether a pilot presentation will be implemented based on the following factors:

       1. (A) The proposed pilot presentation meets stakeholder needs;
       2. (B) The proposed pilot presentation has statewide applicability;
       3. (C) The proposed pilot presentation is not tailored to one specific group/agency, and;
       4. (D) The cost to run the proposed pilot presentation, if any;
    3. (3) Initial approval of a pilot presentation must be granted by the Executive Director with final approval granted by the Commission;
    4. (4) Once approved, any POST-certified presenter may conduct a pilot presentation on a voluntary basis. The pilot presentation will not exceed 18 months;
    5. (5) At the end of the pilot presentation, all data collected will be presented to the Commission and a decision shall be made regarding implementation of the amended curriculum, hourly, and/or course certification requirements.

12. (h) No course shall be certified which restricts attendance to a single agency unless the purpose of the course is to improve that agency and attendance by non-agency personnel would jeopardize the success of the course.
