At Monday’s City Council work session, Richardson Police Chief Gary L. Tittle was presented with a certificate from the Texas Police Chiefs Association Law Enforcement Agency Best Practices Accreditation Program to officially recognize the Richardson Police Department’s re-accreditation. RPD has met the association’s best practice standards since 2009 and is recognized as one of the most-tenured agencies in the program.
Participation in the accreditation program is voluntary, and police agencies must prove their compliance with 170 Texas law enforcement best practices. These best practices were carefully developed by Texas law enforcement professionals to assist agencies in the efficient and effective delivery of service, the reduction of risk, and the protection of individual rights.
