LASD Lieutenant Chris Perez recognized by the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training for innovative training

On June 28, 2012, the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) presented the 2011 POST Excellence in Training award, in the Individual Achievement category, to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Lieutenant Chris J. Perez..

On February 23, 2012, He was recognized as being the catalyst for changing the manner in which firearms training is taught and learned by law enforcement students. The training emphasizes combat-skills, shifting from a marksman-based curriculum. He significantly improved five shooting ranges and instituted a monthly-mandated instructor recurrent-training program.

He also implemented a standardized-skills-test to ensure the highest degree of professional development. The training curriculum was, in part, based on an analysis of actual officer-involved-shootings and the identification of essential skill sets needed to be successful in deadly encounters.

The POST Excellence in Training Award was established in 1994 to recognize innovation, quality and effectiveness of peace officer training, and reflect California’s national status of being in the forefront of law enforcement training. POST officials presented Lt. Perez with the Award at a ceremony held in Sacramento, CA.
