When an officer resigns, retires or is terminated from a police department, should the Commission receive notification?
Yes, a Change of Status Notice SP8-502 (9-2004) is REQUIRED listing the date of separation on the appropriate line. Completed forms require the department to return the MPOETC certification card that had been issued to the officer. The information can also be entered through the website www.mpoetc.state.pa.us and the ID card mailed to MPOETC accompanied by the confirmation page from your web entry.
