New POST
Requirements
In July of 2007 the POST Commission advised
agencies that effective January 1, 2008 all
persons attending POST certified classes will be
required to have a POST Identification number,
and that Social Security Numbers would no longer
be accepted.
As a POST certified presenter, the California
Narcotic Officers’ Association will now require
that you provide your POST Identification
Number, instead of your Social Security Number,
at all POST certified training presented by the
association.
If you do not have a number, contact your
training manager or go to the POST website,
www.post.ca.gov
and click on the link to “Obtaining your POST ID
Number” for instructions.
Thank you for your participation in the CNOA
Training Programs. |

TrainingReports.org
| There is
a new evaluation tool for law enforcement training,
TrainingReports.org. At this website law enforcement
personnel can create and search training evaluations on
more than 160 different national training companies in
80 subject areas. Reports can also be searched by
company and instructor.
This service
is being used by the INIA/SKYNARC
(International Narcotics
Interdiction Association) for their annual training
conference June 18-22, 2006 in Reno, NV. ILEETA
(International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers
Association), IALEFI (International Association of Law
Enforcement Firearms Instructors) have also recently
used this online evaluation product. CNOA is currently
reviewing it’s applicability for its conferences and
training. |
Award Deadlines
All
award nominations should be submitted to the regional
chairperson by July 1, prior to the Annual Training
Institute.
The deadline for the regional chairperson to submit
award nominations to the CNOA office is August 1, prior
to the Annual Training Institute.
This is a change from previous years, in that, we want
to ensure that the regional chairs and committees are
able to review all nominations.
The only exception to the above is the SBJ scholarship
awards which are submitted directly to the CNOA office
no later than August 1, prior to the Annual Training
Institute |

marijuana.
