Section 431.25. Attendance policies

(a) Withdrawal. A constable who enrolls in a basic training course may withdraw from the course without penalty upon timely notification to the school conducting the basic training course. A notification shall be deemed timely if it is delivered to the director of the school or a designee no later than 7 calendar days prior to the start of classes. The school may assess a failing grade for all or part of the basic training course, if the constable fails to provide timely notification or to show good cause. A notification shall be deemed untimely if the notice is not received by the director of the school or a designee within 7 calendar days prior to the start of classes.

(b) Financial responsibility. If notification to withdraw is not given or is deemed untimely and good cause is not shown, and the constable wants to attend another basic training course in the same training year or in the next training year, the constable shall bear financial responsibility for the cost of the additional basic training course. Payment must be received by the Commission within 2 weeks of class start date in the form of a certified check or money order.

(c) Additional attendance. A constable who successfully completes a basic training course may not attend another basic training course in the same training year.
