Saco Police Department receives Maine accreditation plaque from state chiefs association
Summary
A representative of the Maine Chiefs of Police Association presented a Maine Law Enforcement Accreditation plaque to the Saco Police Department at the March 24 council meeting, recognizing the department’s work to meet state accreditation standards.
The Saco City Council on March 24 paused regular business to receive a ceremonial accreditation presentation recognizing the Saco Police Department’s completion of standards under the Maine Law Enforcement Accreditation Program.
Elliot Moyer, representing the Maine Chiefs of Police Association and the Maine Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, presented a plaque to the Saco Police Department and described accreditation as “the gold standard for the state of Maine,” telling the council the process requires agencies to meet more than 60 standards including policy reviews, procedures and internal controls.
Moyer said the accreditation process “takes a dedicated team, a commitment, and a commitment to excellence in the community,” and praised the department’s leadership and staff for preparing documentation and opening their operations to assessors.
Mayor MacPhail offered the city’s thanks, saying on behalf of the council and the city that the council appreciated the department’s work during “a trying few years” and the dedication of staff to the community.
The presentation was ceremonial; no action or vote was recorded in the minutes during the recognition.
