Each person serving as a covered deputy sheriff on the effective date of an
ordinance that creates a deputy sheriff merit board for the county in which he
serves shall have successfully completed, within one (1) year following the
effective date of that ordinance, at least six hundred forty (640) hours of
training approved by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council. Training
approved by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council received before the
effective date of the ordinance may be used to satisfy all or part of this
requirement.
Each person appointed as a covered deputy sheriff in a county that has
adopted a deputy sheriff merit board before the date of his appointment shall
have successfully completed, within one (1) year following the appointment, at
least six hundred forty (640) hours of training approved by the Kentucky Law
Enforcement Council. Training approved by the Kentucky Law Enforcement
Council received before the effective date of the ordinance may be used to
satisfy all or part of this requirement.
A deputy sheriff whose official duty is to provide security service to the courts,
and who is compensated pursuant to KRS 64.092, shall, the provisions of
subsections (1) and (2) of this section notwithstanding, satisfy the training
requirements for employment if he completes law enforcement training which
the Administrative Office of the Courts certifies to the sheriff as acceptable. If
the training was not received prior to the effective date of the ordinance
creating the deputy sheriff merit board, in the case of a deputy sheriff serving
when the ordinance was passed, or prior to appointment in the case of a
deputy sheriff appointed after the effective date of the ordinance, then it shall
be received within one (1) year following the effective date of the ordinance or
the date of appointment, as the case may be.
A person failing to meet the requirements of this section shall forfeit his
position as deputy sheriff immediately upon the expiration of the applicable one
(1) year time limit.
