KENTUCKY LAW ENFORCEMENT COUNCIL INSTRUCTOR MONITORING

Kentucky Law Enforcement Council Instructor Monitoring The Department of Criminal Justice Training is seeking the services of three (3) individuals to provide instructor monitoring for the Kentucky Law Enforcement Council. The Kentucky Law Enforcement Council (KLEC) is an independent administrative body of state government charged with the duty of certifying peace officers, law enforcement training curricula, and law enforcement instructors. To ensure compliance and track effectiveness, the KLEC has the authority and the obligation, pursuant to KRS 15.330(1) (g), to monitor instructors, schools, and training instruction. The KLEC, whose members are unpaid, seeks to retain qualified individuals to conduct compliance monitoring audits. Given the expense of travel and necessary time associated with adequate review and analysis of monitoring subjects, this has been the only feasible route to comply with the KLEC requirement that each law enforcement instructor be monitored at least once every two years. The Justice and Public Safety Cabinet and the Department of Criminal Justice Training provides administrative support staff for the KLEC. As the Department of Criminal Justice Training is the most significant agency utilizing KLEC-certified instructors, there would exist the perception of a conflict of interest for staff of the Department of Criminal Justice Training to be assigned to monitor instructors. Accordingly, independent, unaffiliated individuals are sought to perform compliance monitoring on behalf of the KLEC. Travel to various locations throughout the state will be required under the terms of the resulting contracts issued from this RFP.
