Iowa Admin. Code r. 545-9.2
Costs eligible for reimbursement include all necessary and actual training costs not otherwise recovered which were incurred after July 1, 1980, to comply with the minimum requirements of Iowa Code chapter SOB. To the extent funding is available, costs incurred for approved advanced law enforcement training are also eligible for reimbursement. Advanced law enforcement training costs must be approved by the local governing body and deemed legitimate, necessary and proper by the director of the department of management.
Reimbursable training costs include mileage, food, lodging, tuition, compensation of the officer in training and the compensation of a replacement officer while the officer is in training. Mileage, food and lodging costs are reimbursable at the rates normally reimbursed by the claimant to other employees for work related travel. Compensation of the officer in training and the replacement officer(s) includes wages and employer paid payroll taxes, insurance and pension contributions. However, the reimbursable compensation of the replacement officer(s) shall not exceed the reimbursable compensation of the officer in training.
Other costs eligible for reimbursement include those required by the training facility such as training uniforms, supplies or equipment which were paid for by the claimant and not returned to or used by the claimant after training.
