Sec. 1701.254. RISK ASSESSMENT AND INSPECTIONS. (a) The commission may visit and inspect a school conducting a training course for officers, county jailers, telecommunicators, or recruits and make necessary evaluations to determine if the school complies with this chapter and commission rules.
(b) The commission shall develop a risk assessment method to determine the relative performance of schools conducting training courses for officers, county jailers, telecommunicators, or recruits. The commission shall base its schedule for inspection of schools on the results of the risk assessment.
(c) The risk assessment method must:
(1) consider the scores of students enrolled in a school on the basic peace officer examination;
(2) consider the past inspection records of a school;
(3) consider a self-assessment performed by a school in a noninspection year; and
(4) include a random element to ensure periodic inspection of each school.
(d) The commission by rule shall establish a system for placing a training provider on at-risk probationary status. The rules must prescribe:
(1) the criteria to be used by the commission in determining whether to place a training provider on at-risk probationary status;
(2) a procedure and timeline for imposing corrective conditions on a training provider placed on at-risk probationary status and for notifying the provider regarding those conditions; and
(3) a procedure for tracking a training provider's progress toward compliance with any corrective conditions imposed on the provider by the commission under this subsection.
