An individual who does not perform duties as a licensed peace officer or is no longer employed by an agency may request the board place the individual on inactive status. The individual shall make the request for inactive status in writing on a form provided by the board. The individual may remain on inactive status indefinitely if the individual meets the same requirements for a peace officer on active status, including annual sidearm qualification requirements, and maintains continuing education requirements and renews the license in accordance with the rules of the board. An individual who has been hired by an agency but who has been on inactive status for three or more years when the individual was hired by the agency shall attend the first available criminal and traffic law portions of the full-time peace officer basic course, and successfully complete the licensing examination before the board may restore the individual's license to active status. Reserve peace officers may not maintain a license in inactive status.
