At its Sept. 19 meeting the POST Commission approved a series of personnel and certification actions that included subcommittee recommendations, academy waivers, an agreed order suspending a certification, and a motion to schedule a hearing for another officer.

The commission's hearing-subcommittee recommendations were read into the record and included: a reset to October for the Blaine Police Department matter involving Robert Fox; no action on Johnny Snires of the Salina Police Department; default decertification for Jonathan Kelly (Hamilton County) and for Sheldon Smith (Shelby County Sheriff’s Office); default decertification for Marvin Norfolk (Haywood County) and Andre Crawford (Memphis Airport Police Department); resets to October in other matters; rescission of a decertification request at the Tennessee Department of Safety for Justin Cobble at the agency's request; acceptance of a signed agreed order of surrender for Larry Pollard (Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security); and referral of Ashley Smith (Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security) to a full hearing. The subcommittee recommendations were accepted by the full commission.

The Clinton Police Department requested a waiver to allow Santino Gutierrez Sprock (name in transcript) to attend the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy in January 2026 after he could not complete a prior academy due to a knee injury; Santino spoke briefly about the injury and said he has been cleared for training. Registrar Spangler moved the waiver; Commissioner Green seconded. The motion carried.

The Murfreesboro Police Department requested waivers for Sarah Nicole Cecil (injury) and Dylan Bridal Montgomery (military deployment). Those items were placed on the consent agenda and approved as part of consent action.

The commission approved an agreed order suspending the post certification of Lola Wayne Boyd for six months. Boyd, formerly with the Henry County Sheriff's Office, agreed to a six-month post-certification suspension, after allegations that included drinking while on duty and leaving his vehicle early; the agreed order requires completion of transition school before seeking commissioned employment. Counsel presented the agreed order; the motion to accept the agreed order carried by voice vote after a second from Commissioner Jeffers.

Investigator Rebecca Cantrell reported on a complaint assigned to the Knox County Sheriff's Office alleging a detective had not completed required in-service training; Cantrell said the detective was found to be in compliance and the commission accepted that investigative report. Separately, the commission directed staff to set an informal hearing for Sean Anthony Hooper of the Union County Sheriff's Office based on the investigation into application disclosures regarding military service; a motion to set an informal hearing carried.

All of these personnel items were presented during the meeting's certification and discipline segments; most motions passed by voice vote as reflected in the transcript. Where a matter was reset or referred to a hearing, the commission recorded those procedural outcomes rather than full merits rulings.
