34 Revised: October 28, 2017 Section N: TCOLE Hours for Texas CPAAA Conference Purpose: Guidelines for Law Enforcement Officers /or who holds a State PID Number to receive their TCOLE Hours for the Texas CPAAA Conference. 1. It should be the decision of the host organization if they wish to provide training that will or will not result in TCOLE credit hours for Officers /or who holds a State PID Number who attends the conference. 2. If they decide to offer classes for which TCOLE hours will be issued then: a. They will need to determine if they will offer any mandated courses or courses that lead to a certification or b. Offer only general classes for which attendees will receive an hour to two hours of credit per class. 3. The next step will be for the host to determine how they wish to report the credit hours: a. Will the host organization report the hours through the Department they liaison with (if that agency is a TCOLE approved training provider) or another TCOLE approved training provider like a Council of Government or police academy (required documents would need to be retained for audit purposes) - or b. Will they have each attendee wishing credit hours obtain the necessary audit documents (Instructor bio and photo, Learning Objectives, Lesson Plan and Handouts) to take back to their agency and submit it through their Department training section (if their Department is an approved training provider) - or c. Will they provide each attendee wishing credit a Certificate of Completion for each class they attend and in turn the attendee would take each certificate he receives back to the Department s chief administrator and have the hours submitted by that means (this method does not require the retention of any audit documents). 4. If mandated or certification courses are offered the training must be reported via 3a or 3b. 5. If a Certificate of Completion is the means selected for reporting the hours: a. A certificate should be issued for each individual class attended by the officer. b. The certificate should include: i. Who provided the course: (Proposed) Texas CPAAA and Law Enforcement Annual Training Conference. ii. Date(s): (Proposed) List the date of class person attended iii. Name of Person attending the class. iv. Class/Course Attended: i.e. Texas Weapon Laws and the corresponding TCOLE course number. v. Hours credited: 1 hour/2hours, etc. vi. Signature of TCPAAA President and Conference Chair Page 28

35 Revised: October 28, Process for obtaining TCOLE class hours via the Certificate of Completion option: The Conference binder should include a section explaining the process each person wishing TCOLE hours is to follow in reporting their training hours to TCOLE. The information should, as a minimum, contain the information listed below and indicate that a certificate will be issued for each break out session they attend with the information in paragraph 5 above. Each of these certificates would be presented to their chief administrator for submittal to TCOLE. No other supporting documentation is required in this process. The host organization using this process would have: a. A sign-in roster for each break out session providing TCOLE credit. The sign-in sheet should include the course title (subject), date, instructor and hours for the class. The sheet should also include columns for the attendee s name, DOB, PID# and their agency. b. Each attendee wishing TCOLE credit would sign in at the beginning of the class. c. Each attendee seeking TCOLE credit would be issued a class critique form and at the start of the class be informed that to receive credit for the class they must both sign in at the beginning of the class and turn in the critique form at the end of the class. This would help ensure the person remained for the duration of the class. d. The person completing the certificates would compare the sign in sheet to the critiques for that break out session prior to the issuance of a certificate to someone for that class. e. The certificates would be issued at the end of each day or at the conclusion of the conference at a specified time and location. f. The host organization should retain the sign-in sheets and critiques for at least 45 days as to receive credit for a class the hours must be submitted to TCOLE within 30 days of the class date. Note: The Roster for TCOLE Credit is located on page 30. Note: The TCOLE Critique is located on page 31. Note: The TCOLE Certificate of Completion is located on Page 32. Page 29
