POST rule revisions aim to modernize training records and reduce duplication
Summary
The Department of Commerce & Insurance presented POST commission rule updates to modernize law enforcement training records, reduce duplication, and update experience requirements for certain certifications; presenters said the changes stemmed from extensive statewide stakeholder meetings and the committee recommended the package positively.
Chip Kane, Deputy Commissioner with the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance, told the committee that the POST rule package was developed after 31 local meetings with more than 650 police chiefs, sheriffs, command staff and training officers, and that the revisions reduce duplicative requirements and modernize administrative processes. Kane said the package clarifies access to the Acadis records-management system and that only certain agency staff (for example, training officers) will have access to critical file components.
The rules also repeal a 1977 chapter on commercial places of assembly that the State Fire Marshal's Office no longer uses, clarify that fines and penalties for fire-extinguisher violations apply to inspection findings, and increase experience requirements for proximate pyrotechnic or flame-effect display operators from three to five displays in line with Public Chapter 435. Committee members thanked presenters, and the packages were recommended positively.
