A POST Certified Officer is a peace officer who has successfully completed the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) Board certification process. This process includes completing a POST-approved Basic academy, passing the POST certification examination, and undergoing a background check. The Basic academy is the training standard for police officers, deputy sheriffs, and other classifications of peace officers to include updates to training at least yearly. Capitol Police Officers are POST certified by POST in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Our POST Certified Officers can make arrests. Arrests being the seizing of someone by legal authority and taking that person into custody. This completes my statement, and I stand ready to answer question you or the committee may have.
