An Act relative to the POST Commission
This bill proposes changing the composition of the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission to include 11 members. It would add two representatives from the Massachusetts District Attorney's Association, one sworn state police officer nominated by the State Police Association, and one juvenile diversion program professional. These new members would be appointed based on specific nomination lists rather than the current selection process. The change aims to broaden the representation on the commission that sets training standards for law enforcement in the state.
