What is Accreditation?Accreditation is a progressive and contemporary way of helping police agencies evaluate and improve their overall performance. It provides formal recognition that an organization meets or exceeds general expectations of quality in the field. Accreditation acknowledges the implementation of policies that are conceptually sound and operationally effective.
The New York State Accreditation program became operational in 1989 and has four principle goals:
* To increase the effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement agencies utilizing existing personnel, equipment and facilities to the fullest extent possible;
* To promote increased cooperation and coordination among law enforcement agencies and other agencies of the criminal justice services;
* To ensure the appropriate training of law enforcement personnel; and
* To promote public confidence.
The Accreditation Program is comprised of 130 standards and is divided into three categories.
- Administrative Standards: this section has provisions for such topics as agency organization, fiscal management, personnel practices, and records.
- Training Standards: this section encompasses basic and in-service instruction, as well as training for supervisors and specialized or technical assignments.
- Operations Standards: this section deals with such critical and litigious topics as high-speed pursuits, roadblocks, patrol, and unusual occurrences.
