Proof of all compliances needed to be submitted by June 26, 2023. The office of Public Safety (OPS) staff, on behalf of LEAAC, has conducted an assessment for our initial certification. To obtain the initial Mandatory Certification our agency needed to be found in compliance with several standards specifically Reporting Requirements and Standards & Hiring Standards. I am pleased to announce that this task was assigned to Sgt. Daniel Turner, our lead Officer working on our accreditation program. With the assistance of Det. Sgt. John Smith and myself, our Department has been found to be in compliance with the above-mentioned standards. This is a critical step towards becoming an Accredited Agency. As always, thank you for your support. Chief John H. Nikitopoulos
