State Selection and Training Standards for Correctional Peace Officers

WHO WE ARE

The State Selection and Training Standards for Correctional Peace Officers (SSATS) was established in July 2005 when Penal Code responsibility for developing selection and training standards for designated state correctional peace officer classifications was transferred to the Corrections Standards Authority (CSA) upon elimination of the Commission on Correctional Peace Officer Standards and Training. The SSATS is organizationally placed within the Standards and Training for Corrections (STC) Division of the CSA. This strategic placement facilitates SSATS' partnership with a similar standard setting program that supports local corrections agencies and has been successfully implemented by CSA’s STC Division since 1959.
