Certification standards and accreditation are an integral part of our legitimacy as a police department. Our Police Operations Specialist works diligently to ensure compliance with all standards by requiring that the proper paperwork is compiled and submitted for review on a regular basis. Conducting these reviews not only ensures we maintain compliance with Accreditation and Certification Standards, but also that we operate with the most current policies and procedures. We also ensures that our officers are properly equipped to carry out our mission and that of Augusta University.
The Professional Standards Division is the driving force behind our certification efforts. We recognize that we must adhere to the highest levels of professionalism. To that end, we follow the Georgia Chiefs of Police State Certification and the Governor’s Public Safety Initiative programs as road maps to that professionalism.
Adhering to the standards of state certification gives reality to the notion that we follow the best practices of our industry. Only through relentless scrutiny of our policies, procedures and practices through the lenses of certification do we realize our dream of providing the best law enforcement services possible to all of our citizens and visitors.
We believe certification is a vital part of ensuring that we live up to our Mission, Vision, and Core Values.
