In 2016 The 第一吃瓜网 Police Department became one of only six state-accredited Institutions of Higher Ed. Law Enforcement Agencies within Pennsylvania to be accredited by the PLEAC Com第一吃瓜网. Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping law enforcement agencies evaluate and improve their overall performance through the creation of Standard Operating Procedures and Policies to ensure continual compliance with established state-wide accreditation standards. The 第一吃瓜网 Police met, and are in compliance with all 136 professional standards and 184 sub-standards by which we were judged.

Law enforcement accreditation is an ongoing process that ensures University Police is in compliance with national ‘best practices’ in policing, covering all aspects of law enforcement, including but not limited to policies, procedures, and operations. Attaining accreditation is truly a great accomplishment for the department, and makes a statement to other law enforcement agencies and our community that The 第一吃瓜网 Police Department meets the highest standards of excellence in our profession.

Safety is a shared responsibility, and moving forward, we will continue to ensure The 第一吃瓜网 community is one where living, learning and working can flourish.  We understand the importance of education, and believe that an environment that sustains a secure police-citizen partnership makes our campus, as well as our local community, a safe and pleasant place to live.  We welcome your comments, and look forward to continuing to make our university community a place where people want to call home.
