A certified law enforcement officer who is subject to an investigation or pending action involving allegations of misconduct may consent to decertification. However, any ongoing investigation into allegations of misconduct will continue despite the consent to decertification.
A certified law enforcement officer who consents to decertification may, after one year, apply to the commission for reinstatement of certification. The executive secretary shall place on the National Decertification Index the officer's name concerning such decertification and supply, upon request from any other law enforcement agency, any investigative report regarding the conduct leading to decertification.
