The Texas Police Chiefs Association presented the Anna Police Department with a voluntary accreditation certificate covering 173 standards; presenters and council members praised the department for achieving and sustaining professional standards.
The city recognized the Anna Police Department on March 24 after a representative of the Texas Police Chiefs Association presented a certificate confirming the department’s attainment of state law‑enforcement accreditation.
Jake Sullivan, who identified himself as a lead accreditation assessor and chief of police for the City of Howe representing the Texas Police Chiefs Association, described the accreditation as a voluntary program based on 173 standards covering operations such as use of force, pursuits, property and evidence management, patrol and investigations. "Professional standards, which is what your police department has accomplished," Sullivan said, congratulating Anna’s staff and singling out team members who led the effort.
Council members thanked the chief and department staff and noted the department’s new command center and drone demonstrations that will be posted online. The presenters reminded the council that accreditation requires ongoing compliance, annual reporting and periodic on‑site inspections to maintain certification.
The recognition included acknowledgment of staff leaders who coordinated the accreditation effort and a public thank‑you from council members for the department’s work.
