The Allen Park Police Department is currently moving forward with its accreditation process.
After the accreditation team completed its final evaluation and received public comments on August 15, the department’s reviewers recommended state accreditation. Officials will appear before the accreditation committee on September 11.
During the public comment period, the team received 22 responses. The reviewers said that was the most they had ever received. All of the responses were positive, according to a Facebook post from the police department.
“Our assessment could not have gone better due to the hard work and preparation of our APPD Accreditation Team consisting of Bill Mehall, Manager of Professional Standards, and the other team members, Detective Lieutenant Eron Feltz, Administrative Sergeant Erik Jablonski, Data Information Specialist Sydni Uhlenberg, and many other officers and civilians who helped us get here,” the post said.
Accreditation is valid for a period of three years, during which agencies must submit annual reports demonstrating their ongoing compliance with accreditation standards.
