About the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Program:
- Massachusetts is one of 30 states that offer an accreditation program for its law enforcement community separate from the national Accreditation program.
- There are two steps to the award program: Certification and Accreditation, with accreditation being the higher of the two.
- For accreditation, we need to meet an additional 98 mandatory standards, plus at least 69 of the optional standards (55% of the 125 optional standards required of a Department with 1 to 50 Full-time, sworn officers).
听
According to MPAC, achieving Certification or Accreditation Status Means:
- The agency is committed to meeting professional standards.
- The agency is willing to be assessed on a regularly scheduled basis by Commission-appointed assessors to confirm compliance with professional standards; and
- The agency agrees to correct any deficiencies discovered during the assessment process to establish or re-establish compliance with standards.
