SB 18-122

Senate Bill 18-122 clarifies that some deputy sheriffs in Colorado can work without being certified by the Peace Officers Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) board under specific circumstances. This affects deputy sheriffs who might not meet all certification requirements but still need to perform their duties. The bill has been signed into law, meaning these changes are now official and apply to deputy sheriffs in Colorado.

Two provisions of current law require deputy sheriffs to be certified by the peace officers standards and training (P.O.S.T.) board, but another provision describes the authority of a 'noncertified deputy sheriff'. The bill clarifies that some deputy sheriffs may serve without P.O.S.T. certification under certain circumstances.(Note: This summary applies to the reengrossed version of this bill as introduced in the second house.)
