SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:POST Reports Progress in Officer Training Compliance\, Announces Administrative Suspensions \nThe Executive Director began the meeting with a training compliance overview. The Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) provides 26 hours of in-service training annually—delivered either in person or online—along with 8 hours of firearms instruction and 6 hours of CPR. Agencies must report compliance to MPTC by September 30. Officers who fail to complete the required training will face administrative suspension\, with certification reinstated once training is completed. \nPOST outreach to 356 officers who had not met in-service requirements proved largely successful. As of this meeting\, only 14 officers had unresolved training discrepancies\, and POST administratively suspended six of them. \nIn November 2024\, MPTC flagged irregularities in the completion times of certain online training courses\, affecting up to 487 officers from training years 2023–2025. MPTC directed agencies to review any officers with time discrepancies. Early findings indicate that 5%–10% of these cases require follow-up\, which may result in disciplinary action or administrative suspension. Although many discrepancies had reasonable explanations\, MPTC will require officers with unresolved issues in TY25 to retake the course in person. \nThe financial team reported that POST has committed over 48% of its budget for the second quarter of FY25. The Governor will release the FY26 budget next week\, and POST is preparing to deliver its budget testimony. \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording
