Since 2014, IAPE has offered Accreditation to any law enforcement agency that meets strict standards related to best practices in evidence management.
Accreditation displays a commitment to excellence. It also demonstrates to your community that your agency is committed to protecting and preserving evidence that will ensure the integrity of the criminal justice process. Since the inception of the program, many agencies throughout the US and Internationally have invested in this commitment and accomplished this pinnacle achievement.
IAPE is committed to ensuring our Accreditation practices and processes continue to be the best in the industry. The IAPE Board of Directors is excited to announce they are hard at work developing a new, more user-friendly process for law enforcement agencies to achieve Accreditation. The new process will emphasize our revised standards to meet industry best practices, a tiered approach to support smaller agencies, and a Gold Standard for any agency demonstrating the highest achievement level.
