The Ridgefield Police Department is scheduled for an on-site assessment next month as part of a program to achieve Tier III re-accreditation.  The Police Officer Standards and Training Council will verify the department is continuing to meet professional standards. 

The state accreditation program requires agencies to demonstrate excellence in management and service delivery.  The no-cost, voluntary, self-directed process is accessible to all Connecticut Departments, regardless of their size or resources. 

The onsite visit will be March 23rd.  As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments. Copies of the Standards are available at the Ridgefield Police Department.

The Accreditation Officer of the Ridgefield Police Department is Sgt. John Knoche. Comments can be mailed to William E. Tanner, III, POSTC Accreditation Division at 285 Preston Ave. Meriden, Connecticut 06450, by telephone at 203-427-2602, by fax at 203-238-6643 or by email Accreditation.Compliance@ct.gov and entering the name of the agency in the subject line of the email.
