What statute grants the NC Criminal Justice Education Training Standards Commission its authority?

The North Carolina Criminal Justice Education Training Standards Commission derives its authority from NCGS 17C-6. This statute outlines the establishment, powers, and responsibilities of the Commission, facilitating the training and certification processes for law enforcement officers in the state. Specifically, it details the Commission's role in ensuring that training programs meet the necessary educational standards and that officers are properly trained to perform their duties effectively.

In contrast, NCGS 17A-4 covers the procedures related to the enforcement of laws regarding police officer constitutional rights and duties, which does not specifically address the training commission's authority. NCGS 20-183 pertains to the rules for motor vehicle inspection and does not relate to criminal justice training standards. Meanwhile, NCGS 14-3 discusses the general rules regarding criminal offenses, which are also unrelated to the operational framework of the Criminal Justice Education Training Standards Commission. Thus, NCGS 17C-6 is specifically designed to empower and guide the Commission in its mission to enhance law enforcement professionalism through standardized training.
