The City of Northville Police Department appeared in-front of the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission for its three- year reaccreditation hearing. After the hearing, the department was awarded the reaccreditation.
Accreditation is a progressive process of helping law enforcement agencies calculate and improve their overall performance. The foundation of accreditation lies in the adoption of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives, while ensuring transparency and accountability. During this process, the City of Northville Police Department conducted a thorough self-analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives. This included being in compliance with 100 + standards and 400 + tasks.
Accreditation status represents a significant professional achievement. Accreditation acknowledges the implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective, while reflecting community values and guarding quality of life.
Chief Maciag would like to thank Accreditation Manager Sergeant Frank Cerulla and Assistant Accreditation Manager Officer Scott Groff for their hard work on getting the department reaccredited. They worked tirelessly over the past three years to prepare the department for this great achievement.
