Assistant Director prior to making them available to Bureau personnel
Comprehensive hard copy records and a Bureau Training Database of class attendance
hours and exam performance (when applicable) are maintained by the Bureau Training
Section and the Administrative Services Division as a permanent record of training
classes attended.
Training records are updated by the Training Section and Administrative Services
Division at the completion of each scheduled class
All training records are considered a part of each employee’s permanent Personnel File,
and as such are kept strictly confidential. Permanent Personnel Files are maintained by
the Bureau Personnel Coordinator as well as by the Office of Management-Employee
Services.
Training records will be made immediately available to requesting individuals who
submit a properly completed Transcript Request.
