The accreditation certifies that a law enforcement agency meets or exceeds all the identified standards established by the council in the areas of administration, training, and operations. The City of Kingston Police Department’s policies and practices were re-assessed for the five year period from 2016 to 2020, ...and the re-accreditation was awarded at a virtual ceremony of the NYS Accreditation Council on December 3, 2020. The Kingston Police Department has been continuously accredited since 1990, making it one of the longest accredited agency in New York State. Participation in the accreditation program is a voluntary process where police agencies prove their compliance with New York State law enforcement’s current best practices or standards.
