The POST commission is interesting. As of 10/31 they’ve suspended 39 LEOs, 38 of which list the reason as MGL c. 6E § 9(a)(1), which is "The commission shall immediately suspend the certification of any officer who is arrested, charged or indicted for a felony. " So the vast majority of suspensions stem from the officers copping felony charges.

The outlier is Blake Poore with M.G.L. c. 6E, § 9(a)(4), “The commission may, pending preliminary inquiry pursuant to paragraph (1) of subsection © of section 8, suspend the certification of any officer if the commission determines by a preponderance of the evidence that the suspension is in the best interest of the health, safety or welfare of the public.” Apparently he was suspended for taking LSD. Frankly, as long as he wasn’t on the job while he was taking it, the experience would have probably made him a more empathetic and self-aware cop.

POST also maintains a csv of historical police disciplinary data that they update monthly. Right now it’s available as a series of PDFs or a CSV on their website, but I’ve put the whole thing in a PostgreSQL database and I’m working on an API etc. Hoping to have a version you can search by officer, agency, date, etc. through a web app within a week or two.
