Officer Disciplinary Records

Law Enforcement Officer Disciplinary Records were updated on March 11, 2026. 

Disciplinary records are updated regularly. Officers who have resigned or retired in good standing are not included; the data includes only those who resigned or retired to avoid discipline.

The reports contain summaries from law enforcement agencies of sustained allegations and the discipline imposed on active police officers. In some cases, the discipline imposed relates to one or more allegations. The database also lists the officer’s name, law enforcement agency, and the date and type of allegation. Certain CORI information has been redacted. The data does not include unfounded or non-sustained complaints.

Summary of Reporting Requirements for Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs):

LEAs must report credible misconduct complaints or incidents to POST within two business days of receipt of complaint. Reports due to POST include any incident that results in discipline, an internal affairs investigation, or any allegations of prohibited conduct per MGL Chapter 6E:

  • Bias
  • Excessive Use of Force
  • Serious Bodily Injury or Death (including all officer-involved shootings)
  • Unprofessional Conduct (policy or procedure violations, conformance to laws, conduct unbecoming, untruthfulness, prohibited conduct, incompetence or unfitness for duty). Unprofessional conduct is the only category with an exception for minor matters as outlined below.

Minor matters need not be reported as long as the agency has implemented an informal resolution process (i.e., verbal counseling or letters of counsel), which documentation must be provided to POST upon request. Minor matters include discourtesy, basic work rule violations, tardiness, inattention to detail, equipment or grooming violations, and similar infractions.

POST guidance on complaints and incident reporting further defines basic work rule violations to exclude (i) interactions with the public, (ii) the handling of finances and (iii) ethics violations.  Therefore, any incident, misconduct or complaint that include any of the above (i, ii, or iii) must be reported to POST.
