WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. January 16, 2003:,/i>: The Westchester County Department of Public Safety has been reaccredited by the New York State Law Enforcement Accreditation Council, County Executive Andy Spano announced Wednesday.
“Reaccreditation is not automatic,” said Spano. “This reaccreditation means that our police department has met the highest standards in training, specialized services, and in its patrol and investigative duties.”
Commissioner Louis S. D’Aliso said, “I am very proud of the work that has been done by the members of the Department of Public Safety in maintaining their commitment to these standards, and their achievements in asserting themselves as amongst the finest in this profession.”
The Department of Public Safety was first accredited in 1992 and reaccredited in 1997. The distinction is valid for a period of five years, after which the department must apply for reaccreditation.
Accreditation is a voluntary program; compliance with the standards demonstrates that the agency is operating within the scope of recommended guidelines for all aspects of its operations.
The Accreditation Council based its decision to reaccredit the department on a three-day site visit at County Police Headquarters in November. The council examined written documents, conducted interviews and toured the facility to observe all facets of the department.
Preparation for the site visit began a year ago when D’Aliso ordered all department Operating Procedures and General Orders reviewed and brought up to date to meet the criteria of the accreditation standards.
“This is a labor-intensive task that requires the participation and cooperation of all department members,” Spano said, “But the time and effort involved means we have a streamlined and efficient operation of the department as a whole.”
