Separations

POST, by law, does not capture any other separation reason. The data displays separations by year and by agency. It also compares new appointments and separations by year.  

Reimbursable Agencies

This program is to encourage and assist local law enforcement agencies to meet and maintain standards in the selection and training of law enforcement officers and dispatchers. The data displays which agencies are qualified. Note: Agencies listed with (OBS) are now obsolete agencies.
