HARRISBURG – As part of its continuing effort to ensure that it provides the highest level of police service to the public, the Pennsylvania State Police is seeking reaccreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.
“The department received initial accreditation in 1993 and has been reaccredited three times since then,” State Police Commissioner Jeffrey B. Miller said. “The commission will be conducting an on-site reassessment to determine whether we remain in compliance to standards in operations, policy and procedure, administration and support services.”
As part of the accreditation process, a toll-free telephone line has been established for the general public and state police personnel to provide comments on state police services.
Individuals can call 1-866-554-1054 on Monday, Aug. 27, from 1 to 5 p.m. to speak with members of the commission’s on-site reassessment team. Comments are limited to 10 minutes and must address state police’s ability to comply with commission standards.
Written comments on state police services can be mailed to Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, Va., 22030-2215.
Persons with questions regarding the accreditation program can contact Gerald W. Jarsocrak, state police accreditation manager, at 717-772-4893, or the commission at 1-800-368-3757.
