Agency Response From September 2016
As of June 2016, the division had designated a training coordinator to track and log all of the division staff members' mandatory ethics training. As with all other mandated training, all supervisors are required to keep records of their staff training. The division now also requires that all training is reported by each supervisor and manager to the division training coordinator. The division coordinator tracks all training and reports directly to the division chief.
