Bill > H2730

This bill proposes to modify the composition of the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission by adding specific requirements for law enforcement representation. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Commission include two new members: one active POST-certified law enforcement officer below the rank of Captain from a department with fewer than 50 officers, and another active POST-certified law enforcement officer below the rank of Captain from a department with 50 or more officers. Additionally, the bill stipulates that any POST Commissioner representing a labor organization must be POST-certified, and only one person from a single police organization or police department can be appointed to the Commission at any given time. The term "POST Certified" refers to law enforcement officers who have completed mandatory professional training and certification standards. This change aims to ensure more balanced and diverse representation of law enforcement perspectives on the Commission, with a focus on including officers from departments of different sizes and preventing over-representation from a single organization.
