The Westchester County Department of Public Safety has been accredited by the New York State Law Enforcement Agency Accreditation Council since 1992. Accreditation is a voluntary process that agencies may pursue to demonstrate excellence and professionalism in the field of law enforcement. To achieve and maintain this status, a law enforcement agency must demonstrate continued compliance with over 100 standards in the area of police administration, training and operations. These requirements are developed, reviewed and periodically revised by leaders in the law enforcement community to ensure that agencies seeking accreditation are held to the highest standards.
