2024-2025 Annual Training Plan Approval
Pomona Police Department
Thank you for choosing to participate in the Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) program. Your agency’s Annual Training Plan (ATP) for Fisal Year (FY) 2024-2025 has been approved. Your agency and 150 other local corrections agencies in California have elected to participate in the STC program this year. This collective participation demonstrates a strong commitment to maintaining a professional and well-trained workforce.
Through your participation, you are eligible to receive funding for your training program. The purpose of this funding is to support your ability to meet the selection and training requirements for your corrections personnel. It is not intended to wholly fund your selection and training programs.
The Legislature appropriated $20,970,000 in STC Local Assistance this year, for distribution to all participating agencies. Distribution rates are determined by the amount of funds available and the total number of STC eligible staff positions statewide.
For FY 2024-2025, the STC distribution rates are:
• $630 for each eligible budgeted position that will require Annual training, and • $945 for each eligible budgeted position that will require Core training.
Your agency’s total allotment for FY 2024-2025 is $13,860.00. This amount is based on 21 positions, which includes 2 Core staff and 19 Annual staff (From Title 15, Sec. 298: “For purposes of calculation of available funds, no county or city shall be deemed to have less than eleven eligible staff positions.”).
STC funds will be disbursed for deposit in your agency’s designated account on a quarterly basis, as follows:
1st Quarter 2nd Quarter 3rd Quarter 4th Quarter Total STC Funding $2,079.00 $4,851.00 $4,851.00 $2,079.00 $13,860.00
Attachment No. 2
Your agency’s STC funds will be mailed to:
Andrew Mowbray
Finance Director
505 South Garey Avenue
Pomona, CA 91766
This plan approval authorizes STC training expenditures effective July 1, 2024. A reminder that STC funds may only be spent for costs associated with STC approved courses in the following budget categories:
tuition, replacement, travel and per diem. For more information, please see our Policy and Procedure for Participating Agencies.
Per Title 15 regulations, your agency may request a modification of its ATP at any time prior to March 31st of the fiscal year in which the plan is in effect. Any funds not expended by a participating agency pursuant to the approved training plan during the fiscal year shall revert to the state.
STC remains committed to assisting you with selecting the best-qualified personnel and training them to maximum competency. Please contact your assigned Field Representative with any questions:
