(1) Notify the Apprenticeship Coordinator, each Local Apprenticeship Subcommittee, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards consultant of CPOST decisions, amendments to procedures, and changes to guidelines.
(2) Oversee each LAS.
(b) Establish and oversee training and education certificate programs.
(c) Establish and maintain CPOST required files and records, and oversee the employing department's CPOST record system for apprenticeship training, related and supplemental instruction, and education.
(d) Respond to, advise, and confer with the Legislature, the employing departments, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association, and the federal and/or State oversight agencies.
(e) CPOST shall not exercise any authority to hire any particular person into an apprenticeship classification, nor shall it exercise responsibility for imposing discipline or rejection on probation upon any individual apprentice. The individual participating departments shall maintain their separate authority to hire, discipline, or reject on probation, the individual employee, subject to the State Personnel Board's authority in such matters. If an apprentice is subjected to discipline or rejection on probation by his/her department, neither the CPOST Executive Committee nor the apprentice's LAS shall cancel the apprentice's Apprenticeship Agreement until the apprentice has exhausted his/her appeal rights through the State Personnel Board and any subsequent court action.
