A judge has scheduled a hearing for next month that could decide whether a state board must provide access to meetings and records involving the certification of New Hampshire police officers. The Merrimack County Superior Court hearing is on a case filed by the Union Leader Corp. after the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council closed a discipline-related certification hearing in October. The hearings addressed the certification of Loudon police officer Justin Swift, who was fired from his previous employer, the Ossipee Police Department. While dozens of state boards hold open hearings for licensing and certification of professions ranging from nursing to home inspection, law enforcement certification hearings are closed.
