The Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Council maintains a comprehensive archive of meeting minutes and audio recordings dating back to 2017, documenting the agency's administrative and legislative proceedings. These records, managed by the Department of Public Safety, provide a chronological history of council actions and decisions.
Decades of Council Documentation
The POST Council's digital archives include detailed documentation for every year from 2017 through 2026. For the years spanning 2017 to 2025, the council has provided both PDF versions of meeting minutes and audio files for public review.
