demonstrated by passage of an appropriate examination developed or
approved by the commission, prior to exercising the powers of a peace
officer.  Existing law authorizes the commission to evaluate and
approve pertinent training previously completed by any jurisdiction'
s law enforcement officers as meeting current training requirements.

   This bill would authorize the commission to  accept the
satisfactory completion of training as a military police officer in
the United States Armed Forces as an alternative to the satisfactory
completion of that introductory course of training.  
evaluate pertinent military police officer training previously
completed by any jurisdiction's law enforcement officers for the
purposes of determining whether the training meets the current
training requirements prescribed by the commission. The bill would
authorize the commission to develop a protocol that considers
previous military police officer training as an applicable substitute
for portions of the current standard training. The bill would
require the commission to report to the Legislature by January 1,
2014, on the development of the protocol.
