North Dakota Peace Officer Standards and Training Board
ND POST Board
23/100
Summary
The POST Board certifies and decertifies peace officers statewide under N.D.C.C. ch. 12-63. Its nine members include six active peace officers, the director of the Law Enforcement Training Center, one county government representative, and one city government representative — all appointed by the Attorney General. The board may deny, suspend, revoke, or impose conditions on an officer's license (binding discipline), but has no independent use-of-force investigative function and no civilian majority.
