SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Commission Advances Use of Force Standard\, Reviews Overdue Agency Reports and FY24 Spending \nAt its latest meeting\, the POST Commission approved the draft Use of Force standard for inclusion in the certification regulations for law enforcement agencies. The draft includes clarifications on key principles\, updates on de-escalation requirements\, and guidance to help agencies develop compliant policies. \nThe Commission also received an informational presentation on the Use of Force Reporting standard\, which outlined reporting requirements for use of force incidents\, excessive force allegations\, public complaints\, investigative procedures\, record and evidence maintenance\, and training. \nAs part of its ongoing oversight\, the Commission identified three categories of records that require agency updates through the LEA portal: open complaints and incident reports overdue by more than 90 days\, internal affairs reports closed but pending disciplinary action\, and public complaints forwarded to POST that are awaiting agency responses. Currently\, 84 agencies have at least one outstanding report\, with Massachusetts State Police\, Boston Police Department\, Springfield Police Department\, and Lawrence Police Department each having more than 10 records to update. \nThe legal team introduced a revised draft of 555 CMR 12.00\, governing the maintenance\, reporting\, and auditing of law enforcement records. The updated version incorporates feedback from public comments and stakeholders. \nIn financial news\, the Commission reported final FY24 spending at $7.6 million—90% of the allocated budget. For FY25\, the largest anticipated expenses include payroll\, information technology\, and office space. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe legal team updated the Commission on the Agency Certification Initiative\, shared additional comments on certification standards\, and outlined a proposed timeline for finalizing the regulations. As part of this effort\, the Commission invited public feedback on the draft Code of Conduct standard\, which outlines ethical conduct\, prohibitions\, and accountability requirements for officers. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording
