Accreditation

The Lakewood Police Department was initially accredited in 1986, and has continued to maintain compliance with professional standards set by The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. Successful accreditation makes a statement to law enforcement colleagues and other professionals alike, that the Lakewood Police Department meets the very highest standards.

Accreditation provides a means to identify, prioritize, prevent, and solve community problems; promotes partnership with the community to enhance public safety; encourages support for line level employees; provides for continuous improvement of operating practices; and ensures the protection of all individual's civil rights.
