Based on the legislative intent of the Juvenile Corrections Act of 1995, Section 20-504(3) and (15), the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections shall establish minimum standards for juvenile detention facilities and juvenile probation departments. Additionally, based on Section 19-5109(6) Idaho Code, the Peace Officers Standards and Training Council, upon recommendation of the Juvenile Training Council, may implement certified training for juvenile detention and probation officers.
Juvenile Training Council (Council), established in 1999, became the advisory board for the development and oversight of the juvenile detention and probation training. This Council, made of members from the juvenile justice departments, law enforcement, county commissions, and juvenile corrections, reviews and approves the certified training juvenile detention and probation officers receive at POST Academy.
First, apply and be hired by an Idaho juvenile justice agency in your field of interest. Once hired, your agency will provide you with the application and direction to apply to POST certification.
An officer seeking certification is required to follow the POST Council Administrative rules in IDAPA 11.11.01.
