Who decides in-service credit
Centralized approval
Training must be CLEET-cataloged or CLEET-provided to count. CLEET assigns catalog numbers, valid three calendar years, and non-cataloged in-service entries will not satisfy the twenty-five-and-two mandatory requirement.

What this means for training like CodeBlu
In Oklahoma, in-service courses are certified or approved centrally through Council on Law Enforcement Education and Training (CLEET), so credit does not rest with an individual agency alone. The honest framing for training like CodeBlu is professional development that builds the underlying skills; any formal credit path runs through the state's approval process. This is not a determination of eligibility: CodeBlu does not certify hours or grant credit, and agency policy, the state's process, and legal counsel govern.
