What is Accreditation?

Accreditation through the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association is a progressive and time-proven way of helping police departments evaluate and improve their overall performance. The cornerstone of the strategy lies in the formation of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating administrators then conduct a thorough analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of independent professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented. The process concludes with a decision by an authoritative body that the institution is worthy of accreditation.
