LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Achieving Connecticut Police Accreditation is a proven way
for police departments to reduce their vulnerability to civil
liability claims. While the obvious benefit is lowered insurance
premiums, the accreditation process also helps improve
performance and adherence to procedures, increases credibility
within the community, and improves operational efficiency
within the agency.Connecticut’s police accreditation standards were specifically
developed for the state’s police agencies. The standards are
grouped into three tiers: liability standards, professional standards,
and general management standards. The process helps
police agencies identify potential liability issues and the
actions they should take to address them. In this new CIRMA workshop, police accreditation expert,
Ted Lemay, explains the accreditation process while sharing
his valuable experience and insights.
This interactive workshop discusses:
- The background of the Connecticut Police Accreditation
process.
- Getting started: picking the accreditation manager,
preparing the department.
- Getting organized: accessing, storing, and retrieving
information.
- Managing and proving compliance with the standards—the
real work.
- Preparing for the onsite assessment; reviews and mock
assessments.
- The POST-Council onsite assessment; protocol and exit
interview.
- Re-accreditation.
AUDIENCE
This workshop is designed for:
- Chief Elected Officials
- Town Managers
- Police Commissioners
- Police Chiefs
- Risk Managers
