SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:POST Commission Introduces Plans for Mandatory Agency Certification\, Announces Changes to the Disciplinary Records database\, Honors Outgoing Member\, Prepares for Certification Deadline \nThe POST Commission recognized Commissioner Larry Ellison with a certificate of appreciation for his service. Commissioners thanked Ellison for his contributions and welcomed his successor\, Commissioner Eddy Chrispin\, appointed by the Attorney General. \nExecutive Director Enrique Zuniga reported that the June 30 certification deadline is quickly approaching. POST is actively contacting departments that have not submitted certification information and plans to publish the names of non-compliant agencies. \nPOST continues making progress on the disciplinary records catch-up project. Starting July 1\, certain records will be removed from the public database under 555 CMR 8.06(4)(b)(13)\, which excludes records of former officers who were certified more than three years ago\, unless the officer was decertified. In addition\, the July 2024 disciplinary records database will include POST-imposed discipline\, such as decertifications\, which were previously listed only in the “Decisions and Orders” section of the website. \nOn the financial front\, the FY25 budget remains in the Conference Committee phase\, with the House recommending $8.75 million and the Senate proposing $8.66 million. The final budget awaits the committee’s report\, followed by a legislative vote and review by the Governor. Commissioners also received a staffing diversity update. Commissioner Luma suggested analyzing staff-only metrics—excluding appointed Commissioners—for a clearer view of hiring diversity. \nThe legal team presented options for implementing law enforcement agency (LEA) certification. Commissioners discussed expanding beyond the eight statutory requirements and supported an incremental rollout. They raised questions about staffing and funding to support implementation. Unlike other states that offer voluntary certification\, Massachusetts aims to become the first with a mandatory agency certification program. \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nMeeting Recording \n
