POST Commission

The Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission was established as part of the criminal justice reform enacted in Chapter 253 of the Acts of 2020.

Our mission 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.

New POST portal is open

Training sessions for the new POST portal are happening now, and the portal is open for recertification submissions. Check our updated recertification page for more info.
