A total of 243 officers were not recertified, 26 of whom did not earn recertification for what POST Commission Executive Director Enrique Zuniga dubbed a 'pending matter including a disciplinary matter.'
The most common reason for denied recertification in Tuesday's update was that the officer was out on leave for administrative, medical or military reasonsMore than two dozen Massachusetts law enforcement officers did not secure renewed certification under the state's new police reform law for reasons including possible ongoing disciplinary matters, while more than 200 others were not recertified for other causes, the executive director of a police oversight panel said Tuesday.
A total of 243 officers were not recertified, 26 of whom did not earn recertification for what Zuniga dubbed a"pending matter including a disciplinary matter." That category includes instances in which a police chief did not file an attestation of an officer's good moral character and the Division of Certification is now affirming"that determination of not a good moral character," Zuniga said.
The most common reason for denied recertification in Tuesday's update was that the officer was out on leave for administrative, medical or military reasons, affecting 133 applicants. Officers on leave will get 90 days to comply with recertification requirements once they return to active duty.
