What is Police Agency Accreditation?
Accreditation is a self-initiated process by which police agencies voluntarily strive to meet and maintain standards that have been established for the law enforcement profession by the profession. The program establishes standards on best practices for police agencies to adopt. Agencies then establish written directives and procedures for their personnel to implement. Standards dictate which topical areas an agency must have policies and procedures, leaving the agency’s chief executive officer and supervisory staff to develop and enforce agency-specific policies and procedures. Most of the Commission’s standards require agencies to commit their often-unwritten policies and procedures to writing. Achieving Accreditation means that the agency has agreed to adopt our program’s standards as a way of doing business.
That said, being accredited means that the agency is:
- Committed to meeting professional standards;
- Willing to be assessed on a regularly scheduled basis by Commission-appointed assessors to confirm compliance with professional standards; and
- Agrees to correct any deficiencies discovered during the assessment process to establish or re-establish compliance with program standards.
