The Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association introduced the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Program to the Commonwealth in July 2001. Since then, over 270 agencies have enrolled and approximately 66 agencies have currently attained an accredited status.

On July 13, 2011, the Upper Dublin Township Police Department was re-accredited by the Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission. The members of the Upper Dublin Township Police Department are proud to have attained this distinguished status.

Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of helping institutions evaluate and improve their overall performance. The cornerstone of this strategy lies in the promulgation of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating administrators then conduct a thorough analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives. When the procedures are in place, a team of independent professionals are assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented. The process culminates with a decision by an authoritative body that the institution is worthy of accreditation.
