Social Law Library members now have access to a database of decisions of the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission.   The POST Commission was established as part of the criminal justice reform legislation enacted in Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020.  The mission of the POST Commission is to improve policing and enhance public confidence in law enforcement by implementing a fair process for mandatory certification, discipline, and training for all peace officers in the Commonwealth.  The POST Commission’s database contains final decisions pertaining to the certification, suspension and decertification status of Massachusetts peace officers.  This database does NOT include suspension orders.  It has data coverage from 2023 to the present.
