employed by a local law enforcement agency.
g) In the event the recruit fails to pass the Part-Time Certification
Examination on the initial administration, the recruit will be allowed to
re-take the Part-Time Certification Examination a maximum of two times with
each respective appointment. Failure of this test shall result in the recruit
not being eligible for certification and the recruit must forfeit the recruit's
position.
h) In order to be eligible to re-take the Part-Time Certification
Examination, a written request must be submitted to the Board by the Chief
Administrator of the employing agency. Upon receipt of the written request,
the Board shall administer the re-take examination, except as may otherwise be
provided in subsection (n).
i) Recruits who initially fail to pass the Part-Time Certification
Examination will be administered an alternate version of the Part-Time Certification
Examination on any successive re-takes.
j) The Board will establish and publish the locations with the
dates and times for the administration of re-take Part-Time Certification examinations.
Such exams will be given at least twice every six months.

at regional training facilities on the last Saturday of the last month of the
Part-Time Basic Training Course.

will then be submitted to the Director of the Board and the Chief Administrator
of the recruit's employing agency. The offending recruit shall have the
opportunity within seven days to submit a written report to the Director
describing the recruit's version of the event. In such cases it will be left
to the discretion of the Director to determine whether the recruit has
forfeited the examination and whether the recruit is eligible to re-take the
Certification Examination. The Director's determination will be based on the
nature of the recruit's misbehavior and on the supporting evidence of such
misbehavior.
o) Successful completion of the Part-Time Certification
Examination will not be deemed equivalent to or sufficient in and of itself, to
render said part-time police officer eligible to obtain a waiver of full-time
law enforcement basic training or a certificate attesting to equivalent
training as a full-time law enforcement officer.
p) The
Board will establish a “Transition Course” that incorporates coursework and
scenario-based trainings. Completion of this course may be prescribed by the
Board for those part-time certified officers seeking appointment in full-time
positions and a waiver of the full-time training requirement. Any recruit who
has failed the full-time academy or failed to pass the full-time certification exam
on three occasions is ineligible to attend this course.
