Revisions to Administrative Rules 02:01 and 02:05 concerning law enforcement officers and 911 telecommunicators.

These proposed rule changes update and clarify minimum standards, training, and employment regulations for law enforcement officers and 911 telcommunicators. The rule changes seek to ensure consistency across all article chapters where overlap exists. The proposed rule changes fix certain statutory references and definitions. The rule changes also include provisions for refusal of school sentinel applications. A new proposed rule expands law enforcement eligibility in limited cases, permitting certain technical college students who complete a state-recognized law enforcement program to be potentially eligible for employment prior to reaching age 21.

New content is added below as the draft rules move through the rule-making process.
