What is required of the chief administrator if continuing education is mandated by the board?

The requirement for the chief administrator to seek approval of classes from recognized organizations ensures that the continuing education provided meets the necessary standards and relevance to the industry. This is crucial as it helps maintain the integrity and quality of the educational programs being offered. Ensuring that classes are approved means they have been vetted and are likely to provide the latest and most pertinent information and skills that the security personnel need to stay compliant with regulations and provide effective service.

Additionally, the other options present approaches that are not typically required by boards. Personal monitoring of all courses would be an impractical and burdensome expectation, conducting classes every quarter may not be feasible depending on various factors, and funding the education programs often falls outside the specific duties of a chief administrator. Instead, focusing on the approval process guarantees that educational content is reputable and aligns with industry needs.
