The Morristown Police Department has received reaccreditation from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation program. The process involves 164 standards, organized into 374 compliance items, and a review of more than 15,000 documents as well as an on-site visit. Accreditation is typically a three-year process and reviews the agency’s policies, procedures, and practices against the standards to ensure necessary compliance is met.
