Clearwater Police Department Retains Law Enforcement Accreditation

Clearwater police officers continue to uphold the highest professional standards, serving residents from the beaches to historic downtown. The Clearwater Police Department successfully maintained its accreditation through the Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation, confirming its compliance with rigorous law enforcement standards.

The department first earned this status in 1998. Maintaining accreditation requires ongoing adherence to strict policies and procedures, ensuring accountability and effectiveness in public safety from the Intracoastal Waterway to city parks.

Accreditation is a voluntary process. An independent body thoroughly reviews the department's operations, policies, and procedures to ensure efficient and ethical practices and identify areas for improvement.
