Police Home
The Town of Manlius Police Department is proud of the fact that that we are
one of a handful of law enforcement agencies in New York State that are both
nationally and state accredited.
Initially accredited in 1996, by the
Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) and the
New York State Division of Criminal
Justice Services, the agency has proudly maintained its law enforcement
accreditation through several reassessments.
Law enforcement accreditation provides formal recognition that the Department
meets or exceeds general expectations of quality in the field and that our
policies and procedures are sound and consistent with modern police practices.
Benefits to the Community include:
- Greater accountability within the agency
- Better managed department
- Policies and procedures are in-line with modern professional standards
- Controlled liability insurance costs
- Stronger defense against civil lawsuits
- Increased community advocacy and involvement
- Requires justification for budget, personnel and equipment resources
- Policies and procedures are continually updated
- Community confidence and respect
