police officer serve after certification has been re-
voked, suspended, or allowed to lapse.

or municipal law enforcement agencies, educational
institutions, and other State departments and agen-
cies concerned with police training. The administra-
tive staff of the Commission also works with the
Correctional Training Commission.

In 1971, the Correctional Training Commission
was established to improve the administration of
the correctional system by raising standards of
training and education for those in the field of
corrections, parole, and probation (Chapter 213,
Acts of 1971).

Subject to the authority of the Secretary of
Public Safety and Correctional Services, the Com-
mission prescribes standards for and certifies all
schools that offer correction, parole, or probation
training courses. It may revoke a school's certifica-
tion for cause.

The Commission outlines minimum qualifica-
tions for instructors and certifies qualified instruc-
tors for approved training schools. The
Commission certifies correctional officers who have
satisfactorily completed training programs. It also
operates approved correctional training schools.

The Commission examines correctional training
methods and procedures for all correctional
schools, and consults and cooperates with recog-
nized federal, State or municipal correctional agen-
cies, educational institutions, and other
departments and agencies of the State concerned
with correctional training.

The Commission has thirteen members. Ten
serve ex officio and may be represented by alter-
nates. With the approval of the Governor and Sen-
ate advice and consent, the Secretary of Public
Safety and Correctional Services appoints three
members from correctional, parole, or probation
officers of different geographical regions for three-
year terms. The Commission appoints the Execu-
tive Director with the approval of the Secretary
(Code 1957, Art. 41, sec. 4-301).
