POST Board oversight of St. Paul police misconduct
Summary
In the wake of the November 25 ICE protest incident in Payne-Phalen, the council asked the state POST Board to investigate SPPD use of force. The executive director explained the board licenses officers and can revoke licenses for criminal convictions or Standards of Conduct violations — but can't handle local policy or personnel matters, which stay with the police chief and this council.
