SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Commission Approves NDI Policy\, Explores Officer Fitness Standards\, and Announces New “Restricted” Certification Status \nThe POST Commission approved a new policy for sharing information with the National Decertification Index (NDI)\, a nationwide registry that tracks law enforcement officer decertifications. \nCommissioners also discussed officer physical fitness in relation to recertification. They reviewed research showing that officers typically begin their careers in peak physical condition but often leave the profession less fit than the general population. The Commission explored potential standards\, resources\, and incentives to support wellness throughout an officer’s career\, including considerations for age and breaks in service. These discussions may inform future regulatory changes. \nThe Commission also introduced a new “restricted” certification status for officers not currently affiliated with a law enforcement agency. \nIn other updates\, the Division of Finance and Administration reported $8.07 million in FY 2025 budget activity\, with an expected year-end reversion between $620\,000 and $674\,000. The agency currently employs 51 staff members. \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary:  \nThe executive director reviewed the significant progress that the Division of Certification has made in processing recertification applications for officers with certifications expiring July 1\, 2025. He also discussed updates to the Officer Disciplinary records database\, as well as complaint/incident reporting trends\, including overdue complaints without an extension\, cases closed with discipline pending\, the average number of days where discipline is pending\, the total number of cases/complaints\, and cases with approved extensions. The Boston Police Department led with the highest number in each category.  \nLegal Division staff celebrated Counsel Evert Fowle’s selection to the Boston Bar Association’s Public Interest Leadership Program. Staff also presented on U and T Visas and outlined law enforcement agency obligations\, as well as resources for those seeking visas. Staff presented on the Agency Certification initiative\, specifically a revised draft of the Officer Response Procedures standard\, which incorporated feedback from the Municipal Police Training Committee. New elements of the draft included enforcement quotas and immigration matters\, including provisions around U and T Visas.   \nLastly\, Division of Standards staff introduced proposed updates to complaint reporting procedures\, specifically creating a clearer definition between minor and serious matters.  The proposal aims to improve agency reporting compliance and streamline internal processes. Further discussions on this are expected at a future meeting.   \nMeeting Agenda (PDF) \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary: \nThe executive director gave an update on the Officer Disciplinary Records database\, including efforts to improve uniformity and detail of records. He announced that complaint summaries will be added to the database on a rolling basis moving forward for new complaints (not historical). He also shared information on past and upcoming speaking engagements\, and touched on recent critical incidents involving officers\, which highlight the hazards of the profession.   \nFinance and Administration Division staff provided a FY25 financial report. Final spending came in around $7.98 million\, representing about 91% of the funding budgeted to POST for FY25. Staff also provided an overview of the FY26 spending request\, which originally was for $9.5 million. The Governor’s budget included a reduction of 6% and the Conference Committee’s final budget included an additional 1% reduction. Staff submitted its spending plan to the Executive Office of Administration and Finance and expects to receive feedback in early October. Staff is waiting to see if the legislature will approve a request to use $74\,000 in unspent money from FY25 for FY26. The largest expenses for FY26 are payroll\, information technology\, and office space rent. POST aims to have 60 employees by the end of FY26.  \nLegal Division staff presented on three agency certification standard drafts. First\, staff shared a second round of revisions for the Officer Response Procedures draft\, which included feedback from the Municipal Police Training Committee. Commissioners voted to preliminarily approve the draft standard. Second\, staff shared revisions to the Criminal Investigation Procedures draft\, which was last presented in April for initial feedback. Lastly\, staff introduced the Detainee Transportation draft standard for the first time. The presentation provided a high-level overview of key aspects\, such as officer conduct\, transport vehicles\, searches\, restraints\, and supervision.  \nMeeting Agenda (PDF) \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording

SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Meeting Summary: \nThe executive director provided an update\, starting with a summary of recent outreach and engagement efforts. He then shared that the Commission received a letter from the law firm of Werksman\, Jackson & Quinn regarding a complaint about Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox. The executive director explained that the Commission has prepared and will send a response to the law firm following the public meeting.  \nThe executive director then introduced a request from the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association (MCOPA) to form an advisory committee to provide the Commission with input on policy development. The Commission directed the executive director to organize a meeting with MCOPA to learn more about the request. The Commission did not make a decision regarding the formation of the committee and will revisit this matter at a future meeting.  \nDivision of Certification staff presented a request from Kevin Dorr for voluntary relinquishment of certification. The request was approved.  \nLegal Division staff presented three agency certification standard drafts. First\, staff shared revisions to the Criminal Investigation Procedures standard\, which was last presented in September 2025. Commissioners voted to preliminarily approve this draft standard. Second\, staff shared revisions to the Juvenile Operations Procedures standard\, which was last presented in June 2025. Lastly\, staff presented the Collection and Preservation of Evidence standard for the first time.  \nMeeting Agenda (PDF) \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nPOST Commission Invites Public Comment on Two Applications for Voluntary Relinquishment of Certification  \nWatch Recording
