According to Michael Kasitz, APSU police chief, the process was rigorous but instrumental in identifying processes and protocols that could be improved.
“The process made us thoroughly review and make several changes to our General Orders (policies) in addition to changing some of our practices,” he said. “We went through a stringent assessment to ensure not only that we had policy in place, but that we were adhering to those policies.”
The department will seek re-accreditation every three years.
