   16  required by s. 943.13(9) and continuing training or education
   17  required by s. 943.135 must incorporate the training required by
   18  this subsection.
   19         2. All law enforcement officers must successfully complete
   20  the training required by this subsection, including officers who
   21  received an exemption from completing the commission-approved
   22  basic recruit training program under s. 943.131, as part of
   23  their basic recruit training or the continued training or
   24  education required under s. 943.135(1), as applicable. An
   25  officer’s employing agency must place the officer’s
   26  certification on inactive status if the officer fails to
   27  complete the training required under this subsection. The
   28  officer’s certification will remain inactive until the officer
   29  completes the training and the officer’s employing agency
   30  notifies the commission that he or she has completed the
   31  training.
