CONCORD — Chief Thomas Mulcahy and the Concord Police Department are pleased to announce that a team of assessors from the Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission (MPAC) is scheduled to visit the department to conduct re-accreditation assessments this March.
A team of assessors from MPAC will visit the Department from March 4-6 for a comprehensive examination of the Concord Police Department’s policies and procedures, operations and facilities for re-accreditation.
Verification by the Assessment Team that the Concord Police Department meets the Commission’s standards is part of a voluntary process to gain state accreditation — a self-initiated evaluation process by which police departments strive to meet and maintain standards that have been established for the profession, by the profession.
The Massachusetts Police Accreditation Program consists of 257 mandatory standards as well as 125 optional standards. In order to achieve accreditation status, the department must meet all applicable mandatory standards as well as 55 percent of the optional standards.
Achieving accreditation is a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence.
Anyone interested in learning more about this program is invited to call the department’s Accreditation Manager Captain Brian H. Goldman at 978-318-3404.
