WHY ACCREDITATION?
It is a progressive and time-proven method of assisting law enforcement agencies to calculate and improve their overall performance. An ongoing "health check" of your agency. It can identify areas of professional excellence and where agency growth is needed. It uses standards and requires directives that represent current professional practices. Reports and analyses to create fact-based and informed management decisions. Independent review by subject matter experts. Continuous pursuit of excellence through annual reviews and other assessment measures.
