Alabama Chiefs Association presents five-year accreditation to Andalusia Police Department
Summary
A representative of the Alabama Chiefs Association presented the Andalusia Police Department with a five-year accreditation certificate, recognizing compliance with law enforcement standards; the council praised the department's work in preparing for accreditation.
Chief Justin LaBourne of the Greenville Police Department, vice president of the Alabama Chiefs Association, presented a certificate recognizing the Andalusia Police Department as an accredited agency for five years at the July 15 meeting.
“This is hereby recognized as an accredited agency for a period of 5 years upon the recommendation of the Alabama law enforcement accreditation committee,” Chief Justin LaBourne said while presenting the certificate. He said the accreditation reflects adherence to professional standards in police management, administration, operations and support services.
Mayor Johnson told the council the city has not previously been certified because there had been no local certifying process; he credited the chief and department staff for preparing the documentation and said the accreditation should make the department and city stronger.
The transcript records the presentation and the certificate award; no formal council vote or ordinance was recorded in connection with the accreditation at this meeting.
