At the Board of Commissioner's regularly scheduled December Business meeting, the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission recognized the Springfield Township Police Department with a certificate of Law Enforcement Accreditation. The Springfield Township Police Department received their initial accreditation certification from the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission at a meeting in Harrisburg.
The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association introduced the Accreditation Program to the Commonwealth in 2001. Since then, of the 1,150 law enforcement agencies in Pennsylvania, approximately 300 agencies have enrolled in the program and approximately 117 agencies are accredited. This prestigious program ensures that police departments participate in a system to evaluate policies so that the department is following a best practices approach in law enforcement. The Springfield Police Department continues to strive to provide excellent police services with a high level of professionalism to our residents, businesses, and visitors in Springfield Township.
Special recognition for Lieutenant Mersky, Accreditation Manager Detective Baiada, and their consultants, Law Enforcement Accreditation Services, LLC, and to all the STPD Officers for this accomplishment, we are proud to have a police department with this distinguished status!
