What Chiefs from accredited agencies say about the program .

“The goal of a modern police
department should be to provide their community with the most
professional, efficient police services possible. Accreditation
requires commitment and excellence by all police staff to focus
on achieving a heightened level of performance. PLEAC has made
it possible for a law enforcement agency to soar to a higher
standard”.
Chief Thomas P. Seefeld, Murrysville
Police Department |

 “Accreditation
signifies that we perform our daily functions with the highest
professional standards as our aim. It provides us with the
assurance that the services we provide to our citizens are
delivered in the most effective and forward-looking fashion”.
Chief Ronald M. Fonock Upper Merion

"PLEAC provides the template for Pennsylvania law enforcement
agencies
to achieve recognized excellence and professionalism in the
Commonwealth."
Colonel Jeffrey B. Miller, Commissioner, Pennsylvania State
Police |

 “I
believe that accreditation, if done properly, is simply the best
method available to systematically improve and professionalize
any police organization, period.”

"Accreditation provided a venue for our officers to collaborate with each
other and other
accredited agencies to realize positive-progressive change.
The recognition has provided a heightened level of professional policing in
our community meeting needs of an ever changing, complex society.”

writing what we do every day. It requires us to continually review and
revise departmental procedures to remain in compliance with the standards
that are associated with professional policing.”

departments, not just us.”

the established standards of the accreditation process required
our agency to look into our policies and procedures in a way we
never had to before. The result was a rewarding new confidence
in our ability to deliver police services in the most
professional and efficient way possible."
Chief Samuel G. Gilbert, Penn Township Police Department, York

"The accreditation process had
identified several procedural deficiencies in our department

since been corrected. Overall, achieving State Accreditation has
made us a more solid, professional police department, thanks to
the State Accreditation Commission"
