Overview   of Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission Public Hearing (Mar. 23, 2022)

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Under the provisions of M.G.L. c. 30A, the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (“POST Commission”) will conduct a public hearing for the purposes of gathering comments, ideas, and information concerning new regulations (1) governing the processes for receiving, investigating, hearing, and adjudicating complaints regarding law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth and (2) governing general rules of construction, application, and notice of POST Commission regulations.

Summary of Proposed Regulation:  With the signing of “An Act relative to justice, equity and accountability in law enforcement in the Commonwealth,” by the Governor on December 31, 2020, the Commonwealth took a major step forward in establishing a centralized and uniform system of holding all law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth accountable to the people of the Commonwealth.
 

The new law requires the POST Commission to promulgate regulations governing the processes for receiving, investigating, hearing, and adjudicating complaints regarding law enforcement officers in the Commonwealth. The POST Commission proposes promulgating these regulations at 555 CMR 1.00, et seq.


The POST Commission also seeks to promulgate regulations governing the general rules of construction, application, and notice of POST Commission regulations. The POST Commission proposes promulgating these regulations at 555 CMR. 2.00, et seq.
