Police database

Former Peabody police officer Eric Watts was not placed on a national database of decertified officers after his provisional license was revoked.

A spokesman for the Kansas Commission of Police Officer Standards and Training said Watts would be put on the database only if commissioners decided he committed a “training act violation” after their own investigation.

The spokesman would not say whether an investigation was ongoing. Watts could apply for provisional certification again in April, 2026.
