Newly Proposed Police Legislation in MA

from NightSide With Dan Rea · host WBZ-AM

A new bill is being proposed in Massachusetts by MAPLE, the MA Association for Professional Law Enforcement. The law would require applicants to the state’s police forces complete 60 college semester credits in a criminal justice, police science, or other degree approved by the Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST). Currently, officers are required to have a high school diploma or GED. Do you think the proposed law is a good idea? Why or why not? Dennis Galvin, MAPLE President & a retired state police major, joined us to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
