BOSTON â The newly minted commission tasked with certifying and regulating law enforcement officers in Massachusetts has a long road ahead of it before members can dive in to the bulk of their work, the chair of the body said Monday, during a swearing-in ceremony.
Almost a year after George Floyd was killed while pinned at the neck by a Minneapolis Police officer and two years since state officials began working on the idea of an oversight and adjudicative body that oversees law enforcement in Massachusetts, Gov. Charlie Baker swore in the nine members of the Police Officer Standards and Training Commission at the Statehouse.
