I. Overview

One of the most important missions of the district is its training program. We have a moral and legal obligation to provide the best training to our people that we can. In addition, we need to document that training as it occurs so that we can prove proper performance when the need arises. The following procedure applies to all relevant training received by district personnel.

II. Procedure

A. The goal of the district is to ensure that all training received by all personnel is documented in the district computerized training data base.

B. Company officers shall enter all training occurring on their shifts into the data base prior to the end of each shift.

C. All personnel shall attempt to have individual training received outside of normal drill schedules entered into the data base. Personnel receiving such training can have it entered into the system by one of the following methods:

1. Give some form of written documentation of the training received to the shift Captain (this could just be a note containing the name, date, hours, instructor and type of training).

2. Place some form of written documentation of the training received in the Assistant Chief's mail box (this could just be a note containing the name, date, hours, instructor and type of training).

3. If the individual is trained in using the computer program, he or she may enter the training.
