The Lake Havasu City Police Department is proud to announce its re-accreditation through the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police (AACOP) Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP). Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven method of assisting law enforcement agencies in measuring and improving their overall performance. ALEAP is intended to provide law enforcement agencies in the state with an avenue for demonstrating that they meet commonly accepted best practices and industry standards for efficient, effective, productive, and quality operations. Police Chief Troy Stirling met with the ALEAP commission on January 25 for a review of the on-site visit and inspections that were conducted by ALEAP assessors. LHCPD was proudly awarded the certificate of re-accreditation on February 2.
