Accreditation is a voluntary process.
No laws mandate that an agency become accredited. There are currently 436 standards that an agency must comply with to become accredited. These standards reflect the best professional requirements and practices for a law enforcement agency. Commission Review - The commission reviews the findings of the team, and if satisfied that the agency has met all compliance requirements, the commission awards the accreditation status. Major factors in favor of accreditation are the controlling of liability cost and the reduction of citizen complaints.
