PC 832 P.O.S.T class question

[RP1911]

Other than the Sacramento Regional Public Safety Training Center at ARC can one take the class (Arrest and Seizure) at one of these: Fish and Game, Sheriff's Department or Sac PD?

Yes there are 30 something different academy's in California. Some are privately owned and operated with retired and current officers and deputies, others are department run.

[RP1911]

Thanks. I'm looking for a class earlier than October (ARC's is in October). The department is requiring it for a non-sworn position.

Typically the agencies you listed do not take outside folks. You will most likely have difficulty in getting into one of their's, if they are having any. Those agencies do not have many folks, if any, who need 832 since their enforcement is all performed by POST graduates. The one exception is Sac SO who has Security Officer positions for which the 832 is required. IIRC the Security Officer's must have it at time of application though. Good luck!

[RP1911]

Thanks. That's what I am applying for. The security position with another agency but can't get the position without PC 832. The timing between app deadline and class offered is off.

Check local community colleges.
Since PC 832 Arrest & Control and Firearms are now a part of the Level III module, finding that course separately is harder now.
How about enrolling in Module III as an alternative?

Santa rosa junior college has the PC 832 class as a post module class. I would check their dates.

Sierra College has openings and it starts in August

Thanks all.

The agency said that enrollment in October will be fine.
