Board and Policy Committee Information
Guiding Organizational Direction
In addition to statutes set by the Oregon State Legislature, DPSST's overall mission is guided by the 26-member Board on Public Safety Standards and Training, and six discipline-specific, public safety policy committees.
The board and committees are integrally involved in setting the agency's Oregon Administrative Rules, which legally guide the implementation of our statutory obligations. The board and committees also provide input into, and make decisions regarding training standards and certification requirements, review individual certification cases, and help set the agency's high-level goals for the future. These groups meet quarterly.
Meeting agendas, documents and minutes not availalble on the website can be obtained by submitting a public records request. All documents are subject to Oregon Public Records Law (ORS 192.410 to 192.505).
