441.115 Jail staff training program -- Jailer's training expense allowance --
Eligibility allowance.
(1)
For the purpose of raising the level of competence of jailers and jail personnel, the
department shall maintain a jail staff training program to provide training for jailers
and jail personnel consistent with the standards promulgated pursuant to KRS
441.055 and shall keep records of jailers and jail personnel who satisfactorily
complete basic and annual continuing education. The training program shall include
training on the human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome approved by the Cabinet for Health and Family
Services. A curriculum advisory committee composed of jailers, their
representatives, and recognized professionals in the field of jail administration shall
advise the department concerning the training needs of jailers and jail personnel.
The jail staff training program shall be directed and staffed, in coordination with the
Governmental Services Center at Kentucky State University, by knowledgeable
persons who have sufficient experience, training, and education in jail operations.
The department shall not charge a fee for training jailers, their deputies, or jailers-
elect.
(2)
Beginning in August, 1982, each jailer shall receive an expense allowance to help
defray the costs of his participation in the jail staff training program. The expense
allowance shall be in the amount of three hundred dollars ($300) per month payable
out of the State Treasury. Expense allowance payments shall be discontinued if the
jailer fails to satisfactorily complete annual continuing training. Expense allowance
payments shall be resumed following a discontinuance for failure to satisfactorily
complete basic or annual training only upon the jailer's satisfactory completion of
the training.
(3)
The allowance authorized in subsections (2) and (4) of this section shall be
considered as operating expenses of the jailer's office and shall not be considered as
part of his compensation. Jailers shall not be required to keep records verifying the
expenditures from the allowance provided by the state.
(4)
In order to receive the expense allowance for their first year in office, jailers who
have been elected to office for the first time, shall, before taking office, successfully
complete a training program designed for new jailers and conducted by the
personnel of the jail staff training program. This provision shall not apply if the
jailer-elect is ill and unable to complete the training before taking office. In such
cases, the jailer-elect shall successfully complete a new jailer training program
during his first year in office in order to receive the expense allowance. The county
or urban-county government in which the jailer-elect serves shall pay out of the jail
budget, once he takes office, all necessary and reasonable travel expenses incurred
by the jailer-elect in attending the new jailer training program.
(5)
All jailers shall successfully complete the training required. If a jailer does not
successfully complete the required training within the time specified, he shall not
receive the expense allowance specified in subsection (2) of this section until he
successfully completes the required training.
