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 nonCJIS 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.
