    Commission Advances Recertification, Reviews Complaint Reporting Delays, and Seeks Feedback on NDI Policy

    At its May meeting, the POST Commission reported steady progress in officer recertification, reviews of complaints and incident reports, and legal policy development. The Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) portal opened May 5 to accept recertification applications for officers with last names A–H, and training sessions are now underway.

    Executive Director Enrique Zuniga updated Commissioners on ongoing reviews of incident reports and monthly disciplinary record updates. He reported an increase in public and agency complaints, averaging 34 per month from the public and 15 from LEAs—up from last year’s averages of 30 and 10. The Commission also flagged several agencies with complaints overdue by more than 90 days, including closed cases where discipline remains pending. The average delay in resolving complaints across all agencies ranged from 134 to 161 days.

    The Commission discussed budget developments, noting that both the House and Senate FY26 proposals maintained the Governor’s recommended $8.9 million appropriation—6% below the agency’s original $9.5 million request. The FY25 budget is projected to revert approximately $638,000.

    The legal team presented key updates, including draft standards for criminal investigation procedures and criminal intelligence data management, developed in collaboration with the Municipal Police Training Committee. Legal staff also introduced a proposed policy on reporting to the National Decertification Index (NDI) that would limit NDI submissions to cases of officer decertification or certification revocation, as consistent with POST’s interpretation of legislative intent. It also includes provisions to prevent unauthorized edits to Massachusetts submissions.

    Commissioners also reviewed draft guidance clarifying the meaning of police duties and functions as defined in POST regulations. No votes were requested on any legal matters, as the legal team sought feedback before moving forward.
