Chief says Middletown police earned national accreditation
Summary
Police Chief announced at the Nov. 17 meeting that the Middletown Police Department received national accreditation following an external assessment; he credited staff and city leaders for the achievement.
Police Chief told the Nov. 17 Public Safety Commission that the Middletown Police Department has achieved national accreditation following an external assessment process. The chief said assessors reviewed policies, conducted walk-throughs of buildings and spoke with specialized units, and he said the assessment found no major discrepancies.
The chief credited departmental managers and city leadership for supporting the effort. While the transcript rendered the accreditation name as "CALIA," the chief described a national accreditation process; the department stated it pursued national standards beyond the state's required accreditation.
The announcement was presented as an accountability milestone but the meeting record does not include the accreditation documentation or a formal vote related to the accreditation itself.
