Members of the Westland Police Department have achieved recognition of their professional performance from the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (MLEAC).
The prestigious accreditation from MLEAC is presented when a police department performs in accordance with a rigid set of policies and procedures meeting the best practice standards set by MLEAC. Not only does the department need to assure that all policies are in line with these best practices, but the accreditation agency does multiple on-site assessments to assure that these standards are consistently in practice..
Of the nearly 600 law enforcement agencies in the State of Michigan, the MLEAC accreditation has only been obtained by 90 departments. Most Michigan law enforcement agencies are accredited by either MLEAC, (State) or CALEA, (National). The Westland Police Department has worked to obtain accreditation from both agencies, making them only the fifth department throughout the entire State of Michigan to achieve dual accreditation, officials said.
