The Law Enforcement field over the last twenty years has taken steps to become a recognized profession. The Merrimack Police Department has joined in that effort, and in doing so has embraced several programs that put us on that path. These standards are provided for every department within the State of New Hampshire. We are currently working towards eventual full accreditation, becoming level I accredited in March of 2000.
Many benefits exist as a result of becoming accredited.
It is a recognized set of standards that all Law Enforcement agencies operate under, and it also limits liability. If you would like more information about the Merrimack Police Department Accreditation program, please contact Capt. Paul Stavenger or Lt. Mark E. Doyle at 424-3774.
