    • The date of expiration on the certificate will be two years from the issuance date, and then every two years from the reissuance date.
    • The Driver's name, the type of training and the date of expiration shall be typed on the certificate. The certificates will then be delivered to the Sheriff's Aide for the Sheriff's signature.
    • Personnel assigned to Units other than Transportation Bureau will be advised they cannot drive a Bureau bus unless they have a valid Class B Driver's License with passenger endorsement, a current D.M.V. Medical Certificate, a Driver Training Certificate and the prior approval of the Transportation Bureau's Unit Commander.
