Baker readies bill to create statewide certification process for police
The state is one of only a handful without a certification or licensing process for police, even as it’s created a complex system regulating licenses for barbers, electricians, and more than 50 other trades and professions.
Baker is expected to release details of the plan as early as next week, building off the recommendations of a working group he quietly created last year to study creating a Peace Officer Standards and Training, or POST, system, according to those involved in the process.
