About

Internal affairs is the department within a law enforcement agency that conducts internal investigations regarding misconduct by officers. In Massachusetts, these investigations are public records.

Our primary source of internal affairs records is the excellent work by Jeff Raymond at MassTransparency. He systematically collected records submitted by agencies to the Massachusetts Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Commission. These "POST Commission Submission" records provide an overview of the officers who have been accused of misconduct.

In addition, we have collected a number of internal affairs case files. These go into more detail regarding allegations against officers and the investigations performed by departments.
