  1. 24

The correct answer is: 40

The requirement for a minimum of 40 hours of continuing education training in a "training unit" is mandated to ensure that peace officers remain current with their skills, knowledge, and practices in law enforcement. This training is vital for enhancing their effectiveness on the job, staying informed about new laws, techniques, and best practices in policing. Continuous professional development is essential in maintaining high standards of performance and ensuring public safety. Therefore, the 40-hour minimum reflects the profession's commitment to ongoing education and training.
