IMPORTANT: Due to many counties limiting travel to necessary activities, CPOC is suspending this training. We will be reassessing how best to get the most critical trainings back on the calendar including but not limited to rescheduling or online opportunities where appropriate. 

Basic Felony Sentencing course will provide an overview of the fundamentals of felony sentencing to state prison and under Penal Code, § 1170(h).
