The Sevierville Police Department has received its sixth accreditation from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation (TLEA). To receive accreditation, agencies must submit to a three-year process in which TLEA evaluates 164 law enforcement standards, including an on-site assessment. The TLEA Accreditation status represents a significant professional achievement and acknowledges the successful implementation of written directives, policies, and procedures that are conceptually sound and operationally effective. It takes commitment, dedication, and hard work from the agency head, agency personnel, and community leaders to meet the standards prescribed by the program.
