The certified / decertifiedbadge is the officer's current POST certification, which is separate from the discipline shown. POST only revokes certification for a narrow set of serious causes, so an officer can have a sustained finding and still be certified. Status cross-checked against POST's officer certification roster.
Snapshot of the July 2, 2026 public release. Names and wording are as published by the state; some allegation details are redacted at the source. The database updates periodically and may add records, so check the live source for the latest.
The state only publishes complaints that were sustained. These files, released by the Town under public records requests, also show the complaints the department closed as not sustained or exonerated. They are the department's own account of itself.
The department's internal affairs log for 2011 to 2020: each case, what was alleged and how it ended. Released in April 2021. It is a scan, so its text cannot be searched.
What the department sent the POST Commission in 2023: each officer's complaint history with its outcome, sustained or not, and the chief's and deputy chief's correspondence with the Commission.
