2015 MCOLES Annual Registration
ANNUAL REGISTRATION — LAW ENFORCEMENT
DISTRIBUTION (LED) REPORTING — FIREARMS STANDARD
REPORTING
The 2015 mandatory MCOLES Annual Registration for
all Michigan law enforcement agencies (LEA) will begin on
January 1, 2015 and will close on March 6, 3026. Agencies
participating in the Law Enforcement Distribution (LED) will report
training expenditures for the 2014 calendar year. The LED
expenditure reporting mandate pre-populates the in-service
training section of the expenditure details with courses attended by
an agency's officers. The training events are listed with the course
name, training agency, and other relevant information. The only
remaining item to be entered by the agency is the amount of LED
funds expended for that course.
Expenses are allowable only for training courses registered in the
MCOLES Network. Course information is pre-populated into the
MCOLES Network and only registered courses will be available to
enter expenditures for. Since the courses are drawn from reported
attendance, training providers must remain current on entering
course rosters. If the training does not appear on the agency's list,
you will not be able to enter the course or the cost of the training
and claim the expense on your LED. The agency should follow up
directly with the training provider in order to have the course
entered and/or the roster populated. Should you have difficulty with
a training provider completing their reporting responsibilities we
have a back-up process in place. Approval as an in-service training
provider is contingent on entering courses/rosters in a timely
fashion, so if an agency is having difficulties with a provider, the
provider's status may be suspended or revoked for failure to do
SO.

As you can see by the above description in the reporting of training
expenditures by the LEAs for the 2014 calendar year, in-service
training providers play a significant role in making it possible for the
LEAs to report the expenditures of their LED funds.
When entering data for reporting Supplies and Operating
Expenses and Equipment Purchases, remember to click on the
ADD button after each entry and SAVE after you click on the ADD
button.
Consortium Fees may now be reported as a lump sum or per-
officer fee in the Consortium Fees section on the Annual LED
Expenditure Details web page. The consortium fee no longer
needs to be calculated per training attended. At least one training
program at a designated consortium must have been attended in
order to include the consortium fee as an expenditure.
ACTIVE DUTY FIREARMS STANDARD REPORTING
REQUIREMENT
The in-service firearms standard became effective January 1,
2009, and required all licensed officers to receive training that
included an:
Educational Component and a Skills Component
Reporting compliance can be completed by:
(PREFERRED METHOD) Entering the Active Duty training
educational/skills component as an in-service training course and
populating the MCOLES license (there is an automatic function to
populate your officer's numbers) number on the in-service training
course roster. The flow chart or quick reference guide will walk
you through putting an In-Service Training Course into MITN. Two
other documents will assist you with training roster corrections and
the officer's agency corrections after your course is accepted and
you populate the training rosters.
If you go to your agency roster page and click on the link
Outstanding Mandatory In-Service Training List, a listing of
your officers will be displayed indicating that they have not
completed the Active Duty Firearms Standard. This list will shrink
as officers complete the standard as the information is entered into
the In-Service Training Course. Your agency or in-service training
provider may have already performed this task. If you have no
officers on the list, your training unit or another provider has
completed the standard and populated the training rosters.
At this time, the only way officers will be removed from the list is if
the Active Duty Firearms Standard is input as an In-Service
Training Course and the officer's MCOLES numbers are populated.
For officers who have not completed the standard, the agency
must report the name, MCOLES number, and reason for each
officer that did not complete the standard (educational and skills
component) using the form that will be available via a link on the
Annual Registration page or on the MCOLES Web site. As soon as
the officer(s) achieve(d) the standard, report their compliance using
http://www.miehigan.gov/meoles/0,4607,7-229-42839-228119--,00.html 6/8/2015
MCOLES - 2015 MCOLES Annual Registration Page 3 of 3
the same form in order to ensure that MCOLES' records will
immediately reflect accurate information on the status of an
The second method of reporting compliance with the Active Duty
Firearms standard is to check the box YES or NO on the Annual
Registration page that indicates whether the officers have met the
Active Duty Standard for the 2014 calendar year. Checking YES
will indicate that all officers have met the Active Duty Firearms
Standard. This does suffice for the mandatory reporting. We will
know that all your officers have met the standard by checking YES.
Checking the box YES on the Annual Registration page indicating
that the officers met the standard is mandatory, even though you
may have created the In-Service training course.
Please contact us at 517-322-5615 (HELP DESK) for general
MCOLES Network issues. There will be further instructions posted
that will detail the submission of reporting forms and other
reporting issues.

the mandate, or if you have questions on the reporting
process, contact David Lee at 517-322-5826 or

I. INTRODUCTION
Statutory Authority
The Michigan Justice Training programs are regulated by state law, administrative rule, and
executive order.
Public Act 301 of 1982, created the Michigan Justice Training Fund. This revenue is generated
through fine assessments which are levied and collected by the courts and submitted to the
Michigan Department of Treasury for deposit in the Justice System Fund. A percentage of Justice
System Fund revenue is then transferred to the Michigan Justice Training Fund on a monthly basis.
Both the Justice System Fund and the Justice Training Fund are interest-bearing accounts. Interest
is posted to each account quarterly.
The Michigan Justice Training Fund is a restricted fund. These funds may be used only for the
criminal justice in-service (active duty) training of eligible trainees or such purposes as designated
by legislative mandate.
Public Act 302 of 1982 created the Michigan Justice Training Commission (MJTC) and set forth the
responsibilities of that Commission. Section 3(a) of the Act directs the Commission to annually
distribute 60% of the Justice Training Fund to eligible entities under the law enforcement distribution,
and in Section 3(b), the Commission is required to annually distribute, through a competitive grant
process, the balance of the fund after administrative costs have been deducted. These two funding
programs are referred to as the Law Enforcement Distribution (LED) and the Competitive Grant
Program, respectively. This document addresses the Law Enforcement Distribution.
The administrative rules that prescribe the procedures by which the Commission shall distribute
money from the fund were developed under the authority conferred on the Commission by section 3
of 1982 PA 302, by section 9 of 1965 PA 380, and by Executive Reorganization Order 2001-2, MCL
18.423, 16.109, and 28.621.
With Executive Order 2001-5, Governor John Engler ordered the merger of the Michigan Justice
Training Commission with the Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (COLES) to form the
new Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES) and transferred the
responsibilities of P.A. 302 to the MCOLES. Executive Order 2001-5 also directed the Commission
to focus its activities in order to accomplish the following objectives involving law enforcement
organizations and officers:
• increase professionalism,
• increase the number of law enforcement organizations that offer formal in-service training
and increase the number of law enforcement officers who receive formal in-service training,
• institute law enforcement in-service training standards applicable to all law enforcement in-
service training in Michigan,
• implement a Web-based information system that will allow the Commission to accomplish its
goals and communicate with Michigan law enforcement organizations in a more efficient
manner.
II. PURPOSE
As mandated by the Act, the purpose of the LED program is to annually distribute Justice Training
Funds to eligible agencies for in-service criminal justice training of their MCOLES licensed law
enforcement officers.
- 1 -
For the purposes of the LED program, in-service criminal justice training means a criminal justice
educational program presented by an agency or entity eligible to receive funds pursuant to the Act or
by a contractual service provider hired by the agency or entity eligible to receive funds pursuant to
the Act, including a course or package of instruction provided to an eligible trainee for the payment
of a fee or tuition, or education or training presented through the use of audiovisual materials, which
program, education, or training is designed and intended to enhance the direct delivery of criminal
justice services by eligible employees of the agency or entity.
ELIGIBILITY
Any Michigan city, village, township, county, junior college, community college, state supported
college or university, or the Department of State Police is eligible to receive LED funding. Only
MCOLES licensed law enforcement officers, employed by an eligible entity, are eligible trainees
under this program.
The Act also requires that an eligible agency shall submit an annual registration to establish or
maintain eligibility to receive a distribution of justice training funds. Annual eligibility is determined
by several factors.
1) Registration: A complete and accurate registration shall be submitted, in the manner
prescribed by the Commission, on or before the established deadline.
2) Report of Expenditures: A complete accounting of expenditures, charged to LED funds
during the prior calendar year, shall accompany the annual registration in the manner
prescribed by the Commission. You must register your expenses regardless of whether funds
were used or not.
3) Maintenance of Effort (MOE): It is the intent of the Act to provide supplemental funding, not
replace local funding, for in-service criminal justice training. To ensure compliance with this
intent, the amount of local funds budgeted annually by the local unit of government for in-
service training shall be equal to, or greater than, the amount budgeted for in-service training on
October 12, 1982, or the first year of program participation.
4) Roster of Officers: The law enforcement agency shall employ a minimum of one full-time
equated (FTE) officer for the calendar year prior to which the registration is submitted. Effective
with the 1995 registration, a roster of licensed officers shall be provided in a manner prescribed
by the Commission.
5) Two-year Expenditure Period: Effective with the 1990 distribution, recipient agencies are
required to expend their entire annual distribution within two calendar years of the year of
distribution. For example, LED funds received during 2013 must be expended prior to
December 31, 2015. If the distribution is not expended within this time frame, the agency will
be ineligible to receive any additional LED funding until the balance is expended and reported to
the Commission.
Licensure is issued by the Commission under 1965 P.A. 203, as amended. Any officer found not to
be in compliance with the requirements shall be ineligible for the law enforcement distribution.
Therefore, it is the law enforcement agency's responsibility to verify that each law enforcement
- 2 -
officer registered for the law enforcement distribution meets the requirements of Act 203 in one of
the following manners:
• election to the office of sheriff;
• employment by a law enforcement agency as a fully empowered law enforcement
officer prior to January 1, 1977, with no break in employment in excess of two
years, since January 1, 1977; or
• employment by a law enforcement agency as a fully empowered law enforcement
officer after January 1, 1977, having complied with all the selection, employment,
training, or waiver of training standards of Public Act 203 of 1965, as amended,
which were in place at the time of initial employment, and with no break in
employment in excess of the time periods permitted under section 9 of Act 203.
Non-Discrimination
Government units receiving money distributed under the Act, and any person or contractor
performing services funded by such money, shall not discriminate against an employee or applicant
for employment with respect to hire, tenure, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, or a
matter directly or indirectly related to employment because of race, color, religion, national origin,
age, sex, height, weight, or marital status in violation of Act 220 of the Public Acts of 1976, as
amended.
Upon certification of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission that a violation of these nondiscrimination
requirements has occurred, a government unit's right to receive money under the Act may be
suspended, terminated, or conditioned in any appropriate way that is consistent with the
circumstances of the case.
Non-Compliance
Non-compliance with the provisions of these guidelines shall result in a forfeiture of law enforcement
distribution funding.
IV. FISCAL RESPONSIBILITIES
All recipients of LED funds agree to maintain records documenting annual calendar year LED
expenditures in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles, to permit inspection of
these records, and to cooperate with any audit requested or authorized by the local unit of
government or the Commission. An agency receiving funds under this Act shall report annually to
the Commission on the forms and in the manner prescribed by the Commission. Failure to report the
required information shall result in ineligibility to receive LED funds.
A separate accounting of LED funding and expenditures independent of local in-service training
funds, must be maintained and reported for each calendar year. Beginning with the 1990
distribution, amendments to the Act require that each agency expend the entire annual distribution
within two calendar years of the year of distribution. Therefore, training costs, supplies, and
equipment purchases shall be assigned to the oldest funds available regardless of the year
expended.
The amended Act requires that if funds remain unexpended after the end of the second calendar
year, the agency shall be ineligible for future funds until the remaining balance has been expended
and reported.
Agencies must report closure or consolidation initiatives to MCOLES for close out processing.
Current expenditures will be processed and if required, an invoice for unutilized funds will be created
to return the funds to the Michigan Justice Training Fund for re-distribution.
The following expenditures are eligible for LED funding in accordance with the mandate, effective
January 1, 2004, requiring that all training courses being provided to in-service law enforcement
officers in Michigan be registered in the MCOLES Information and Tracking Network prior to the
training being conducted, whether being provided by a Michigan based or out-of-state private or
public vendor, as well as training offered by an agency for specific, in-house agency purposes.
Allowable:
• Hourly salaries of instructors for the actual time spent preparing and presenting training,
subject to the supplanting restrictions.
• 1n-state travel expenses for training programs outside of a 50 mile radius from the worksite
or home (whichever is closer).
o Meals, lodging and mileage are approved at Civil Services rates during the year of
expenditure. (further travel regulations are outlined on page 7)
• Expenditure of LED funds for tuition costs for out-of-state training courses is allowable
provided that the requesting law enforcement agency submits an Out-of-State Special Use
Request to the Commission and the course was MCOLES registered through the MCOLES
Information and Tracking Network prior to the training dates.
• Expenditure of LED funds for registration only for out-of-state conferences or conventions
providing the requesting law enforcement agency submits an Out-of-State Special Use
Request to the Commission and is granted approval prior to attending the conference or
convention. All other costs associated with the conference or convention must be covered
by other funds.
• A consortium fee for law enforcement training attended. Consortium fees paid shall be
reported per year.
• The reasonable rental costs for the use of a training facility for in-service training, if
facilities owned or occupied by an eligible entity are either not available or are inappropriate
due to the nature of the training.
• The actual cost of purchasing or leasing training materials used to assist trainees in
understanding in-service training topics. Items such as: training manuals, tests, evaluations.
• The reasonable rental cost or the purchase price of equipment used exclusively for the
direct delivery of in-service training; however, expenditures for purchase shall not be more
than the total of 10% of the annual distribution, nor may any single item be more than
$5,000.00, without prior approval of the Commission. Equipment costs less than $300 shall
be reported as a Supplies and Operating expense.
- 4 -
o The Equipment Special Use Request form is available on-line. (further equipment
information is outlined on page 7)
• A flat rate or tuition paid to a contractual training provider hired by an eligible entity.
The payment shall be in compliance with policies established by the Commission.
• Web-based programs, CDs, DVDs, or other such instructional media that are based upon
passive or interactive learning. Funding is limited to $1,000 or 10% of the annual distribution,
whichever is less.
• Automated firearms training systems that simulate deadly force decision-making
circumstances.
Ineligible:
1. Expenditures for salaries of trainees.
2. Meal and lodging for expenditures in excess of the per diem meal expenditures authorized
for civil service employees. In cases where charges for meals and lodging exceed the
allowable rate, the grantee may utilize other funding sources to cover the additional charge.
o The Commission will not authorize the use of justice training funds for travel costs to
participate in criminal justice training unless the criminal justice training program is for
the sole purpose of training or offers not less than 6 hours of qualifying training within
any 24-hour period.
3. Criminal justice training not located in this state, unless the training event has first been
approved by the Commission and is registered in MITN, as noted above.
4. Criminal justice training in another country.
5. The purchase of firearms.
6. Purchase of alcoholic liquor.
7. Purchase of refreshments.
8. The publication of a newsletter.
Travel Regulations:
Mileage Restriction: Travel expenses shall not be charged for mileage or lodging where
training occurs within 50 miles, by standard mileage charts, of the home or work site,
whichever is closer. An exception may be allowed for those persons who work or reside
within a radius exceeding 25 miles of the training site when a minimum of two hours of
training occurs following the evening meal.
Air Travel : The use of commercial airlines is permitted when it is advantageous based
on comparative travel costs and the time of the traveler. Justice training funds may not

the additional charge. The maximum daily meal allowances are indicated in the current
Rate Schedule. Trainee meals will only be allowed when training occurs both before and
after the meal, or the trainee is otherwise eligible for meals due to lodging.
Lodging Rates: The maximum daily lodging allowances are indicated in the current Rate
Schedule. Actual lodging expenses paid, not to exceed the maximum, plus any
applicable sales or use tax, are reimbursable.

life of more than one year; 4) not become a fixed part of a building or structure; and 5) have a

Equipment purchases approved by the Commission may be retained by the recipient agency as long
as the equipment is used for the provision of in-service criminal justice training.
When equipment is no longer used for the provision of in-service criminal justice training, the
recipient agency shall notify the Commission to request disposition. The Commission may select
one of the following actions:

V. SPECIAL USE REQUESTS
Out-of-State Special Use Requests
The Act contains specific mandates relative to the expenditure of Justice Training Funds for out-of-
state training. The intention is, of course, that justice training funds be expended primarily within the
state of Michigan to purchase services and materials from Michigan vendors whenever possible.
The policy states that the Commission will not fund any out-of-state criminal justice training program,
unless all reasonable efforts to locate a similar training program in this state have been exhausted,
and the Commission is satisfied that a similar training program is not available in this state.
It is the eligible entity's responsibility to make every reasonable effort to locate a Michigan based
provider. At a minimum, the applicant shall contact a statewide provider (e.g., the Michigan State
Police or the Michigan Municipal League), local or regional providers (e.g., community colleges or
universities), and consult the MCOLES Schedule of Training Courses. The Schedule contains
information about in-service criminal justice training programs offered in Michigan and is published
on the MCOLES web site (wvvw.michigan.gov/mcoles).
• Agency Approval. An individual agency requests approval to send eligible trainees to out-of-
state training to provide the training. These requests will be acted upon individually.
• Blanket Approval. The Commission will give blanket approval, when requirements are met, for
attendance by all agencies at annual conferences, e.g., NSA, IACP, MSA, and MACP. it is the
responsibility of the Commission staff to publicize these approvals, and to monitor compliance
- 9 -
with the policy regarding the 6:24 ratio for actual hours of training. These approvals will be for the
payment of registration fees only. All other costs associated with the conference or convention
must be paid by other funds.
Equipment Special Use Requests
The Administrative Rules for Public Act 302 of 1982, as amended, state that the expenditure of
funds under this Act for the purpose of equipment purchases must be approved by the Commission
when total equipment purchases exceed 10% of the agency's annual distribution, or when the
purchase price of a single equipment item equals or exceeds $5,000.
Special Use Request Approval Process
The forms used to request Commission approval for the special use of LED funds, as outlined
above, are the Out-of-State Special Use Request (MJT-511) and the Equipment Special Use
Request (MJT-512). These forms are available on the MCOLES web site. Both types of requests
require PRIOR approval. Written notification of Commission action will be returned to the requesting
agency.
Each approval is assigned a unique special use request processing number. This number is noted
on the written notification and is also required as proof of approval on the annual LED expenditure
report. All host approval numbers are published for reference on the MCOLES web site.
