SUMMARY:Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Commission Reports Complaint Reporting Backlog\, Streamlines Recertification\, and Discusses Potential Oversight of Constables \nExecutive Director Enrique Zuniga opened the meeting by reviewing agency reporting compliance and overdue cases. Several agencies have exceeded the 90-day extension for open complaints\, closed cases\, and incident reports with pending discipline. Boston Police Department accounts for most of the overdue complaints\, partly due to the Commissioner’s review of each case\, which extends the timeline. Despite the backlog\, more agencies are submitting reports faster\, and overall open complaint report numbers are declining. The Commission will begin issuing quarterly reports tracking progress on closing open cases. \nCommissioners also reviewed a proposed expedited plan for recertifying officers with last names A–H\, whose certifications expire on July 1\, 2025. The process will be significantly streamlined\, and the LEA portal is set to open May 1. Officers will now be recertified on a three-year term plus their birth month\, following a timeline structure previously approved by the Commission. \nThe Commission addressed concerns raised during a recent community meeting in Worcester about the legal status of constables. POST clarified that under M.G.L. c. 6E\, any constable who executes arrests must be certified. Currently\, no constables are certified. POST will begin collecting records from departments that employ or collaborate with constables to build a statewide database and assess future enforcement measures. \nA financial update showed a potential $600\,000 budget reversion for FY25. The Governor’s FY26 budget proposal includes an $8.92 million appropriation\, $570\,000 below POST’s original request. The Legal Division also provided updates on the recertification process. \nMeeting Materials (PDF) \nWatch Recording
