Training for deputy sheriff providing security service to the courts.
(1)Each person serving as a covered deputy sheriff on the effective date of an
ordinance that creates a deputy sheriff merit board for the county in which he serves
shall have successfully completed, within one
(1)year following the effective date
of that ordinance, a basic training course as established by KRS 15.440 at a school
certified or recognized by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council. Training
approved by the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council received before the effective
date of the ordinance may be used to satisfy all or part of this requirement.
(2)Each person appointed as a covered deputy sheriff in a county that has adopted a
deputy sheriff merit board before the date of his appointment shall have successfully
completed, within one
(1)year following the appointment, a basic training course as
established by KRS 15.440 at a school certified or recognized by the Kentucky Law
Enforcement Council. Training approved by the Kentucky Law Enforcement
Council received before the effective date of the ordinance may be used to satisfy
all or part of this requirement.
(3)A deputy sheriff whose official duty is to provide security service to the courts, and
who is compensated pursuant to KRS 64.092, shall, the provisions of subsections
(1)and
(2)of this section notwithstanding, satisfy the training requirements for
employment if he completes law enforcement training which the Administrative
Office of the Courts certifies to the sheriff as acceptable. If the training was not
received prior to the effective date of the ordinance creating the deputy sheriff merit
board, in the case of a deputy sheriff serving when the ordinance was passed, or
prior to appointment in the case of a deputy sheriff appointed after the effective date
of the ordinance, then it shall be received within one
(1)year following the effective
date of the ordinance or the date of appointment, as the case may be.
(4)A person failing to meet the requirements of this section shall forfeit his position as
deputy sheriff immediately upon the expiration of the applicable one
(1)year time
limit.
