The Police Training Commission was created in
1966 to improve the administration of law en-
forcement by raising standards of training and ed-
ucation (Chapter 286, Acts of 1966).

Subject to the authority of the Secretary of Pub-
lic Safety and Correctional Services, the Commis-
sion prescribes standards for and certifies schools
that offer police training and security training
courses. It may revoke a school's certification for
cause. The Commission prescribes minimum qual-
ifications for instructors and certifies qualified in-
structors for approved training schools. It verifies
officers who have satisfactorily completed training
programs and may issue diplomas. It also operates
approved police training schools (Code 1957, Art.
41, sec. 4-201).

The Commission certifies persons as police of-
ficers who have met all standards of the Commis-
sion. Under certain conditions, it also can suspend
or revoke the certification. Persons not satisfacto-
rily trained in the twelve-month probationary pe-
riod may not be employed as police officers. Nor
may a police officer serve after certification has
been revoked, suspended, or allowed to lapse.

The Commission is authorized to make a con-
tinuous study of entrance-level and in-service
training methods and procedures and to consult
with and accept the cooperation of any recognized
federal. State, or municipal law enforcement agen-
cy, educational institution, and other State depart-
ments and agencies concerned with police train-
ing.

The administrative staff of the Commission also
performs staff duties and responsibilities in con-
nection with the Correctional Training Commis-
sion.

The Commission consists of fourteen members.
Eleven serve ex officio. The Secretary of Public
Safety and Correctional Services, with the approv-
al of the Governor and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, appoints the remaining three
members for three-year terms. Each appointed
member must be a police official from a different
geographical area of the State. Non-appointive
members may be represented by alternates. With
the approval of the Secretary of Public Safety and
