The Nevada POST Commission (NRS §289.500–289.530) sets minimum standards for certification and decertification of all peace officers statewide. Its 11 members include 9 appointed by the Governor (predominantly active LE) and 2 non-LE members appointed by legislative leaders with expertise in bias, mental health, or vulnerable populations. The Commission may deny, suspend, or revoke certificates after a formal hearing (NAC §289.290); felony conviction triggers mandatory revocation.
Decertified officers are reported to the National Decertification Index. The Commission lacks explicit statutory subpoena power and does not independently investigate use-of-force incidents.
