An audit by the State Auditor’s Office has called out the Municipal Police Training Committee (MPTC) for its handling of police officer training and certification in Massachusetts. Addressing compliance with the 2018 Criminal Justice Reform Act and the 2020 Police Reform Law, the audit covered two years up to the end of 2022. With the mandate to set training standards for over 23,000 law enforcement personnel, MPTC’s shortcomings could have serious implications for the consistency and quality of policing in the state.
