Obtaining Your POST ID
POST has received several phone calls from persons interested in obtaining their POST IDs. The information below describes the various ways you can obtain your POST ID.
If you are currently employed by a POST agency as a Peace Officer, Reserve, Records Supervisor, or Dispatcher, your agency should have submitted a Notice of Appointment or Termination (NOAT) transaction to POST. If this has occurred, your agency has the ability to log onto the POST Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) system and run a Roster Report. The Roster Report will list all appointed personnel by name and POST ID.
If you have not been appointed through the NOAT process, but you have attended a POST-Certified Course in the past 24 months, your agency has the ability to log onto the POST EDI system and run a Non-Peace Officer Training Report. This report will list agency, non-peace officer personnel who have attended POST-Certified Training in the past 24 months.
If you are not actively employed by a POST agency, but you had a previous appointment (as a Peace Officer, Reserve, Records Supervisor, or Dispatcher) with a POST agency, you may obtain a Peace Officer Profile (which includes your POST ID) by following the steps outlined on the obtaining a Peace Officer Profile link.
If you have never been appointed by a POST agency or you have not attended a POST-Certified Training Course in the past 24 months, please enter your Social Security Number on the POST Training Roster the next time you attend POST training. Once the POST Training Roster is received by POST and entered into the database, you will be able to determine your POST ID using one of the methods described above.
If you do not fall into one of the categories above, please explain your circumstances in an email addressed to Mitch.Coppin(at)post.ca.gov and allow one week for a reply.
