Available Course Titles
Each month PATROL releases one new continuing education course. Each course equals one POST credit. These courses are available to test on for four months from the date of its release. After four months the course, minus the exam, is available to officers as a reference but testing for POST credit is closed. This schedule is maintained to ensure officers receive the most recent and relevant information when reviewing and testing on PATROL courses. The only exception is the courses that meet PATROL mandates and OSHA standards (Use of Force Legal Issues, Use of Deadly Force, Readiness Aspects of Use of Force, Bloodborne Pathogens and HazMat). These courses are available for testing at all times during the year.
