Improving Police Training
One of the most significant issues faced by Massachusetts lawmakers this year was police accountability. The work of the OSA helped to inform this debate and point the way on steps the Commonwealth can take to bolster public trust in law enforcement.
A study released last year by the OSA looked at municipal police training in Massachusetts. It found the state had no way of holding police accountable for meeting training standards, did not provide enough opportunities for them to meet training requirements. 4 states, including Massachusetts, currently do not have a police licensure or decertification process, such as POST.
