 Management Counseling Services Bureau
 
 

"Upon the request of a local jurisdiction, the commission shall provide a counseling service to such local jurisdiction for the purpose of improving the administration, management or operations of a police agency and may aid such jurisdiction in implementing improved practices and techniques."
Section 13513 Penal Code

The Management Counseling Services Bureau provides many services to local law enforcement agencies to improve the quality of police services at each level of the organization. These services include Management Studies, Peace Officer Feasibility Studies, Team Building Workshops, and Field Management Training. The Bureau also conducts research, provides advice to clients over the telephone, prepares POST publications (e.g., the "Law Enforcement Records Management Guide" and the "Law Enforcement Property and Evidence Management Guide"), and coordinates special projects.
