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 Township

“Participation in Pennsylvania law enforcement accreditation is an indication of professionalism and progressive leadership.”

Colonel Frank E. Pawlowski, 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.”

Chief William Kelly, Abington Township Police Department

 

"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.”

Chief Leo Sokoloski Bloomsburg Police Department

 

“Accreditation was one of the smartest decisions I have made.”
