2005 Survey of Post Agencies Regarding Certification Practices. Police Officer Certification Revocation Information Sharing: National Public Safety Officer Decertification Database

摘要

The 2005 Survey of POST Agencies Regarding Certification Practices was conducted as part of the USDOJ funded, Police Officer Certification Revocation Information Sharing: National Public Safety Officer Decertification Database project of the International Association of Directors of Law Enforcement Standards and Training (IADLEST). The purpose of the project is to reduce interstate itinerancy of peace officers that were decertified for cause, that is misconduct, either criminally adjudicated or administratively sanctioned. The project proposes the facilitation of interstate access to information retained by peace officer standards and training (POST) agencies within the United States. An important part of the project effort is the establishment of current information regarding state practices related to the certification of law enforcement officers, state methods of information management, and existing impediments to the sharing of revocation action related information. Other project activities include the convening of a national symposium and development and operation of a pilot interstate database system.
