POST seeks executive director,
general counsel

The Massachusetts Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission (POST) is an independent agency, with appointees from the governor and attorney general, which was established by Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020.  POST’s role is to create a mandatory certification process for police officers in Massachusetts, as well as processes for decertification, suspension of certification, or reprimand in the event of certain misconduct. POST will also be responsible for investigating and adjudicating claims of misconduct, maintaining databases of training, certification, employment and internal affairs records for all officers, and certifying law enforcement agencies. By creating a central entity to oversee officer certification, POST will ensure that those officers' training and misconduct records are available to the public.
