Pre-RFPPublic SafetyDetected Jun 10, 2026

4, updated RIPA guidelines, and recent POST and RIPA Board reports, asking members to provide written feedback. The feedback is explicitly aimed at determining whether the guidelines fully reflect legal requirements, can serve as a comprehensive framework for all RIPA-related training, are clear and practical for agencies to implement in policy and supervision, and include mechanisms to measure training outcomes. This indicates that POST is actively shaping the statewide framework that agencies will use to design and deliver AB 953/RIPA-compliant training, including outcome measurement expectations.Vendors specializing in law enforcement training content, LMS platforms, and assessment tools can engage around how their offerings can support agencies in operationalizing these guidelines—particularly in translating them into measurable courses, policies, and supervision practices once POST incorporates feedback into future guideline refinements.

The process is at the policy and framework evaluation stage, prior to any mention of procurements, but outcome measurement and framework comprehensiveness highlight likely future needs for training content and systems.
