The
Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. was formed
to develop a set of law enforcement standards and establish and administer
an accreditation process by which law enforcement agencies at the state
and local levels can demonstrate voluntarily that they meet professional
criteria. The overall goal of the accreditation program is to improve the
delivery of law enforcement services from coast to coast. The Willowbrook
Police Department was originally awarded accredited status in Savannah,
Georgia on November 16, 1991. The Department was reaccredited for the
fourth time at the July 2005 Commission meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, the
Department was reaccredited until November of 2008 and has continued to
remain in compliance with the applicable accreditation standards.
