Nine members named to Massachusetts new policing reform commission
By Chris Van Buskirk
A former Massachusetts Superior Court judge selected by Gov. Charlie Baker will head up the state s brand new commission tasked with certifying and holding police officers accountable.
The state s top executive and law enforcement official made public on Thursday their picks to the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission. The state s new policing reform law required Baker and Attorney General Maura Healey to appoint members to the POST Commission by April 1.
The nine-member commission is one of the central parts of the reform law Baker signed at the end of December. Lawmakers have previously said it is the only civilian-led entity with the power to craft policing standards, certify law enforcement officers, and revoke officers certifications if they violate those standards.
