MAYNARD — Chief Michael Noble is pleased to share that members of the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission will be arriving in October to conduct assessments of the Maynard Police Department.
A team of assessors will arrive for a three-day period beginning on Monday, Oct. 8. During this time, the team will evaluate the Department’s policies and procedures, operations, and facilities.
In order to achieve accreditation status, the Department must meet 274 mandatory standards as well as 66 of the 120 optional standards.
Maynard Police has been an accredited Department since 2016. The Massachusetts Police Accreditation Program requires departments to be re-accredited every three years.
Gaining accreditation is a self-initiated process to ensure police departments are meeting and maintaining professional standards. Achieving accreditation status designates Maynard Police as an agency of professional excellence.
“Receiving accreditation status is a testament to the commitment of the department in providing thorough, well-prepared service to the community,” said Chief Noble. “I am thankful to work with individuals who do attentive work on a daily basis to uphold professional police standards.”
Those who are interested in learning more about the accreditation process are invited to contact the Department’s Accreditation Manager Deputy Chief Christopher Troiano at ctroiano@maynardpolice.com or Assistant Accreditation Manager Sergeant Michael Sutherland at msutherland@maynardpolice.com.
