DEARBORN — The Police Department has achieved accredited agency status through the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission.
The Department started the accreditation process in March 2019 and has worked over the last 18 months to align policies, procedures, and operations with recognized law enforcement best practices across the state.
This voluntary self-assessment involved a collaborative effort by department personnel working in conjunction with other departments within the city, and law enforcement agencies across the state.
“Receiving accredited agency status is a great achievement for our department, and our city,” Police Chief Ronald Haddad said. “This is a continued step in our journey toward maintaining excellence in our profession. The commitment by the men and women of the Dearborn Police Department to make this program successful will serve the community for years to come.”
The Dearborn Police Department will be presented with a formal certificate of accreditation by members from the accreditation program on a future date to be announced.
