Commission on Accreditation

Law Enforcement Agencies

                                          

                      The Quincy Police Department

            Retains its National Accreditation Standing

 

The Quincy Police Department was originally recognized as an accredited law enforcement agency on November 22, 1997. The accreditation certification is for a three year period.

 

In 2000 the Quincy Police Department applied for re-accreditation and on January 6, 2001 an Accreditation team consisting of  law enforcement professionals from various areas of the United States conducted a thorough review of the department.  In March 2001 the department was officially granted their second certificate of Accreditation at the CALEA Conference in Greensboro, North Carolina.

 

In August of 2003 the department applied for it second re-accreditation.  We again underwent inspection from an Accreditation team and in November of 2003 the department was notified that it had met all of the requirements and was subsequently awarded their second re-accreditation certificate.  The department continues as an accredited department and is actively working towards the third re-accreditation.

 

The Quincy Police Department is proud of this achievement as there are only 53 accredited law enforcement agencies in the State of Illinois, with Quincy being one of only three agencies in downstate Illinois.

 

Accreditation by the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies provides law enforcement agencies an opportunity to prove that their department is highly regarded and has demonstrated their commitment to professionalism.  The department continually works hard to earn and maintain their nationally recognized accreditation status so as to assure the citizens of Quincy that the department is committed to providing police services of the highest quality, in a professional and fair manner.

 

The Quincy Police Department is again working towards re-accreditation and it is their hope to achieve this status for the third time.

 

Update:  Our department successfully was reaccredited for the third time and is now actively pursuing its' fourth.
