NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

This rule is authorized by Subsection 53-6-105(k). This subsection describes the duties of the director of the Police Academy. This gives the Director the authority to make administrative rules.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

There have been no written comments on this rule either in support or opposition.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule allows Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) to screen potential law enforcement officers of drug use or abuse prior to admittance into a basic training program. This is important in order to protect the citizens of the State of Utah, to preserve public trust and confidence in a fit and drug free peace officer profession, and to maintain the credibility of peace officer training academies. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
