AZPOST is the statewide decertification board for all Arizona peace officers, appointed by the governor. Under A.R.S. §41-1822, the board certifies and may permanently revoke the certification of any peace officer for misconduct. Revocation is permanent with no further appeal. The 13-member board includes sheriffs, police chiefs, and a college faculty member, giving it a mixed composition with law-enforcement majority.
The board has no independent investigative function for use-of-force events; complaints are referred internally or to prosecutors.
