Requalification

This POST-certified, 160- hour minimum course serves two purposes:

1. Three-Year Requalification*
   This course is available to individuals who have successfully completed a POST-certified Regular or Specialized Investigators’ Basic Course or have a three-year or longer break in qualifying employment from a California law enforcement employer for which the position required completion of Regular Basic Course (RBC) or Specialized Investigators’ Basic Course (SIBC) training. Individuals who previously completed the Basic Course Waiver (BCW) process in its entirety may also requalify their BCW one time within the initial 6 years after issuance of the waiver.
2. Basic Course Waiver Assessment Process
   After an evaluation has been approved by POST, the BCW applicant must complete the requalification course as Step 3 of the Basic Course Waiver process. The student must provide a letter from POST indicating their eligibility to attend Requalification as part of the BCW process.

*Six-Year Exception: Individuals who successfully completed the RBC, SIBC, or Basic Course Waiver process on or after July 1, 1999 but who never served in a position for which a Regular or Specialized Investigators’ Basic Course was required by law, may requalify by completing the POST Requalification Course one time within six years from the date of basic course or waiver process completion. After six years, those individuals must complete the appropriate basic course (RBC or SIBC) to requalify, regardless of when the Requalification Course was completed.

FIREARMS INFORMATION:
You are required to supply your own ammunition for the Firearms portion of this course. If you are borrowing a weapon from the college, you will need 9mm. There will be a total of 300 jacketed rounds required. Please do not wait until the last minute to purchase your ammunition, as it could take up to 10 days to get proper clearances to purchase in California (even after you’ve received your DO J clearance). Do not bring your firearm or ammunition to campus until requested to do so by the academy instructors.
