Specific regulations deal with such matters as probationary periods, college education, examinations, training and training records, and personnel action reports. Other regulations pertain to certification of law enforcement officers, auxiliary officers, specialized police personnel, field training officers, instructors, and schools and curricula. Specifications set forth specific requirements and documentation/verification procedures with respect to citizenship and age, background, education, personal interview, physical and psychological examination, and training and certification.
