Washington State Field Operations - What is RCW 18.185.260 Section 1?
What is RCW 18.185.260 Section 1?
Effective in 2009 Washington State RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 increased the training hours for required Washington State Bail Recovery Agent Field Operations Certification to 32 hours:
RCW 18.185.260
(1) The director shall adopt rules establishing pre-license training and testing requirements for bail bond recovery agents, which shall include no less than thirty-two hours of field operations classes. The director may establish, by rule, continuing education and recertification requirements for bail bond recovery agents.
License applicants however may not even be aware of RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 in that the Washington Department of Licensing website does not even mention RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 or the 32 hours required at the Bail Recovery Agent Field Operations training requirement section of their Washington State website.
We ask why? It doesn’t make sense for someone to choose a Washington State Bail Recovery Agent Field Operations training program from the Department of Licensing’s own websites training referral list, and unaware of the 32 hours required by a new law, pay out big dollars, and have their license application temporarily rejected because the program did not meet the requirements of RCW 18.185.260 Section 1.
Out of 16 training programs referred by DOL as Washington State Bail Recovery Agent Field Operations training resources, we could only find two programs on the list that meet the new requirements of RCW 18.185.260 Section 1, maybe there are more but few returned calls.
Why would Washington State's DOL actively refer Washington citizens to privately owned training programs that are not compliant with Washington Law on the Washington DOL website? Why is there no mention of RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 at the Field Operations Requirements Section on their web? Is RCW 18.185.260 Section 1 even being enforced by the DOL’s current administration?
Another interesting note, few of the Taser Instructors on the list are trained or certified as such by Taser International according to their representative. So how did they become Taser Instructors?
We are investigating, stay tuned for the details……
