these requirements.
(b) Subject to (d) of this section, the council shall issue a certificate evidencing satisfaction of the requirements of (a) of this section to an
applicant who satisfies those requirements or who satisfies the requirements of (a)(2) of this section and
satisfactorily completes a program or course of instruction in another jurisdiction equivalent in content and quality
to that required by the council for approved police education and training programs in this state.
(c) The council may deny or revoke the certificate of a police officer who does not meet the standards adopted under
(a)(2) of this section.
(d) The council may not issue a certificate under (b) of this section to an applicant unless the council determines that the applicant
will undergo a national criminal history record check before employment as a police officer. If a prospective employer of a person seeking
certification under this section does not have access to a criminal justice information system to obtain a report of criminal justice
information under AS 12.62 and a national criminal history record check, the prospective employer shall submit
to the council the applicant's fingerprints along with the fee established in AS 12.62.160. The council or prospective employer shall submit the fingerprints
to the Department of Public Safety to request a national criminal history record check of the person for the purpose of evaluating the person's
qualifications for appointment as a police officer.
