No person shall receive an official appointment on a permanent basis as a law
enforcement telecommunicator unless the person has previously been
awarded a certificate by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council attesting to
such person's satisfactory completion of a non-CJIS telecommunications
academy. Every person who is employed after June 24, 2003, as a law
enforcement telecommunicator by any law enforcement agency in this state,
regardless of prior experience as a non-CJIS telecommunicator, shall forfeit his
or her position as such unless, within twelve (12) months from the date of his or
her employment, he or she satisfactorily completes the non-CJIS
telecommunications academy and is awarded a certificate attesting thereto.
The council shall waive the training requirements listed in this section for all law
enforcement telecommunicators who are serving on July 15, 2006, and
possess a certificate of completion of an approved law enforcement
telecommunicator basic training program.
All non-CJIS telecommunicators, whether originally employed before or after
July 15, 2006, shall successfully complete each calendar year an in-service
training course, appropriate to their job assignment and responsibility, of at
least eight (8) hours' duration at a school certified or recognized by the
Kentucky Law Enforcement Council.
In the event of extenuating circumstances beyond the control of a non-CJIS
telecommunicator that prevent completion of training within the time specified,
the commissioner or the commissioner's designee may grant the non-CJIS
telecommunicator an extension of time, not to exceed one hundred eighty
(180) days, in which to complete the training.
A non-CJIS telecommunicator who fails to complete the training within a period
of twelve (12) months and any extension of time granted under this section
shall be terminated by the employing agency and shall not be permitted to
serve as a telecommunicator with any governmental agency in the
Commonwealth for a period of one (1) year.
