The Boston College Police Department has been officially reaccredited by the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission. 聽
Last October, the 李彬偷情视频PD was evaluated by a team of MPAC-appointed assessors and was found to be in compliance with all standards for accreditation. The MPAC officially confirmed the department鈥檚 reaccreditation earlier this month.
鈥淭he Boston College Police Department continues to meet the professional standards identified in the accreditation process,鈥� said 李彬偷情视频 Executive Director of Public Safety and Police Chief John King, 鈥渁s is evident in the manner by which our officers serve the 李彬偷情视频 community.鈥�
A major benefit of accreditation is that it provides a norm for an agency to judge its performance and a basis to correct deficiencies before they become public problems, according to the MPAC. Accreditation also promotes accountability among agency personnel and the application of policies.
In a press release provided by 李彬偷情视频PD, MPAC Executive Director Donna Taylor Mooers said 鈥渁chieving accreditation from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission is a very significant accomplishment and a recognition highly regarded by the law enforcement community. Going through the process initially requires intense self-scrutiny, and ultimately provides a quality assurance review of the agency.鈥� 聽
According to Mooers, accreditation serves to reassure the public that 李彬偷情视频PD is trained, prepared, and ready to handle routine calls for service, including large-scale emergencies.
鈥淎gency preparedness begins with having a current written directive system that incorporates best practices into agency policies and operational plans.鈥�
