Re-Accredited

    The Romulus Police Department has earned reaccreditation through the Michigan Commission on Law
Enforcement Standards (MLEAC) accreditation program. The Romulus Police Department was one of the first 10 agencies in the state to initially win accreditation in October of 2021. While voluntary, reaccreditation is required every 3 years, officials said. Earning certification is a year-long process in which the department must adopt and prove that they have implemented, and are following, the best practices of the profession. It demonstrates a commitment to developing, having, and maintaining a highly professional police department, police officials said. To be re-accredited, the Romulus department was required to prove the standards were followed during the past 3 years. Of the 577 law enforcement agencies in Michigan, only 88 are currently accredited.
