An Arizona Officer's Continuance Request is a request made by a police officer in the state of Arizona to continue their employment with a law enforcement agency. This type of request is typically made when an officer has received a notice of termination or suspension and wishes to appeal the decision. The request must be filed within 30 days of the date of notice, and must include a statement of the reasons to be considered for continuance. There are two types of Arizona Officer's Continuance Requests: an “Informal Request” and a “Formal Request.” An Informal Request is a written request that is sent to the agency in which the officer is employed. A Formal Request is a written request that is filed with the Arizona Peace Officers Standards and Training Board (AZ POST) and is subject to a hearing before a panel of AZ POST members.
