Training Compliance3
OPD has achieved training compliance with all of the Settlement Agreement tasks.
Forty-four of these tasks require training prior to implementation. As OPD revises NSA policies
or creates supplemental policies, it may need to provide updated training to personnel, depending
on the policies and the nature and extent of the revisions or additions. The IMT reviewed OPD’s
training on revised NSA-related policies to ensure that OPD remained in training compliance
with each task.
The IMT was pleased to hear Chief Batts intends to require documentation of training for
all OPD directives, not only those related to the NSA. The IMT has long recommended
documentation of all training for operational, risk management, and accountability reasons.
Requiring documentation only for NSA-related directives raised the troubling possibility that
OPD did not recognize the importance of ensuring that all Departmental training was actually
received. The new Chief’s approach will alleviate that concern.
