An Act for balanced law enforcement representation to the POST Commission
This bill amends the composition of Massachusetts' POST Commission to ensure balanced law enforcement representation. It requires two new appointments: one active POST-certified officer (below captain rank) from a department with fewer than 50 officers, and another from a department with 50+ officers. The bill also specifies that any POST Commissioner representing a labor organization must be POST-certified, and limits police department representation to one person at a time. These changes directly affect how the POST Commission is structured and who can serve on it.
