Decertification

Decertification of an officer’s basic law enforcement certificate is governed by IC 5-2-1-12.5. The board may revoke, suspend, modify, or restrict a certificate authorizing a person to act as a law enforcement officer for any of the following:

1. Conviction of a felony,
2. Conviction of a misdemeanor that would cause a reasonable person to believe the officer is dangerous or violent,
3. Conviction of a misdemeanor that would cause a reasonable person to believe the officer has demonstrated a propensity to violate the law,
4. The officer has been found not guilty of a felony by reason of mental disease or defect,
5. The certificate was issued in error or on the basis of false information, or
6. The officer engaged in conduct that rises to the level of a felony, or a misdemeanor that would cause a reasonable person to believe the officer is dangerous or violent, or has a propensity to violate the law, even if the officer is not criminally charged.

If you have information that an officer’s conduct meets any of the above criteria, please complete the Decertification Submission Form to submit the conduct for review pursuant to the statute above.
