If the majority of citizens in this country are to be protected and served efficiently by upgraded agencies, then the cost of an accreditation program must be within their reach. We only offer an affordable method of professionalizing police departments and helping them better serve and protect their constituents. The process is difficult and takes considerable time, effort, and determination on the part of the Chief or Sheriff to achieve. The on-site team looks for proof of meeting the standards and then interviews rank and file members of the police department to determine if they have been trained and are following the objective provisions of the standards. This committee acts as a check and balance to ensure that the on-site team members are forthright and candid in their observations and evaluations.
Accreditation is conferred.
Photos are taken and media representatives are invited. It is expected that an ever increasing number of law enforcement agencies nationwide will seek and achieve accreditation and as a result the American People will be served professionally by their locally controlled police departments. Participation will also send a strong positive message to the community served by the agency that officials are committed to providing services of the highest quality.
