POST Board expected to adopt rules to keep racists and extremists out of law enforcement

The Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training, which licenses law enforcement officers in the state, is expected to adopt language Thursday defining what constitutes an extremist organization or hate group with the aim of keeping racists and extremists out of law enforcement agencies.

The POST board will vote on a set of recommendations from two administrative law judges, who found the preliminary rules approved by the board needed more precise terminology regarding extremist groups.

If the board approves the rule changes it will still need final approval by Chief Administrative Law Judge Jenny Starr, and then by the governor's office, which is expected. The rules could take effect anytime from April to late June.
