	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2130, as amended,  Cook   Gorell  .
Peace officers: training.
   Existing law requires every peace officer, as defined, to
satisfactorily complete an introductory course of training prescribed
by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training,
demonstrated by passage of an appropriate examination developed or
approved by the commission, prior to exercising the powers of a peace
officer.
   This bill would authorize the commission to accept the
satisfactory completion of training as a military police officer in
the United States Armed Forces as an alternative to the satisfactory
completion of that introductory course of training.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

may accept the satisfactory completion of training as a military
