SB 289 - Under current law, all licensed peace officers, as a condition of licensure, must obtain continuing law enforcement education and maintain a current address of record on file with the POST Commission. This act provides that in addition to those requirements for licensure, peace officers must submit to being fingerprinted on or before January 1, 2022, and every six years after for the purposes of a criminal history background check and enrollment in the state and federal Rap Back Program. Additionally, any time a peace officer is commissioned with a different law enforcement agency he or she must submit to being fingerprinted. The criminal history background check shall include the records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The resulting report shall be forwarded to the peace officer's law enforcement agency. The Rap Back enrollment shall be for the purposes of peace officer disciplinary reports as required by law. Finally, this act modifies provisions relating to investigations of peace officers. Under current law, any law enforcement agency with information showing a peace officer's unfitness for licensure must provide such information to the POST Commission. This act provides that any law enforcement officer who has reason to believe that a peace officer has committed a criminal offense, violated probation, or violated POST Commission regulations shall report such information within five days to the Director of the Department of Public Safety.
