The attendance at a bona fide fire or police academy or other
training facility, when required by the employing agency, constitutes
engagement in activities under section 7(k) only when the employee meets
all the applicable tests described in Sec. 553.210 or Sec. 553.211
(except for the power of arrest for law enforcement personnel), as the
case may be. If the applicable tests are met, then basic training or
advanced training is considered incidental to, and part of, the
employee's fire protection or law enforcement activities.
