Franklin Police Department receives third accreditation from Kentucky chiefs group
Summary
A representative from the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police congratulated the Franklin Police Department for earning accreditation for the third time, citing compliance with 77 standards and noting potential liability-insurance savings; the department accepted the certificate.
A representative of the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police praised the Franklin Police Department for completing an accreditation program that covers roughly 77 standards, calling it a rigorous outside review and a sign of strong departmental management. The association’s executive director noted the program has historically been achieved by only about 20–25% of agencies and said accreditation commonly results in a reduced liability-insurance premium for accredited agencies.
Franklin’s chief accepted a third accreditation certificate and staff noted the work required for site visits and policy reviews. Commissioners thanked the association’s representative and commended the department’s leadership for sustaining the program over multiple accreditation cycles.
