Legislator seeks $100,000 to finish officer training reporting app integration
Summary
A legislator told the subcommittee that a state police training app funded last year needs $100,000 more to integrate with the state's training‑tracking system; the POST office agreed to reallocate previously approved instructional‑design money to cover the hardware/software integration if the committee approves the RFA.
Representative Guinn presented a request to allocate $100,000 to complete integration between a statewide officer training app and the state’s training‑tracking system.
Background and request
Guinn said a prior RFA funded the development of an app that would let officers report training hours in real time and let supervisors approve hours electronically, which would reduce manual counting. When developers tested the app, they discovered it would not connect to the state training‑tracking system without additional hardware and software. Guinn said completing the integration would cost about $100,000.
Agency handling and funding
Guinn said he has discussed the issue with Travis Reese of POST and that POST is willing to reallocate funds previously provided for instructional design to cover the integration cost so the app can report training records as intended.
Next steps
The committee did not vote on the RFA at the hearing. The request will be considered alongside other building‑block priorities and RFAs when the co‑chairs compile the chairs’ list for Wednesday’s votes.
