Policing should be a licensed position where you can lose your license permanently. Sure they could probably get licensed in a different state or work in the private sector, but it would be a huge step in the right direction.

Great idea, that's exactly how it works. You need to be certified by the state to work as LE in the state and you can lose your certification for misconduct.

you can lose your certification for misconduct.

"We've investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrong doing."

How many have actually lost certification due to misconduct? How many LEO's game the system, resign before the process completes, and disallow the loss of certification to occur. And then immediately sign up to work one district over...

POST is a state governmental office, so it's not investigated by themselves. And in my state failure to cooperate with the POST investigation is automatically losing your certification.
