Title
Presentation of Recognized Status from the Texas Law Enforcement Best Practices Recognition Program for the Mesquite Police Department.
Body
In June 2017, the Mesquite Police Department underwent review by the Texas Law Enforcement Best Practices Recognition Program for maintaining recognized status. This process provided for an independent review of the department’s operational procedures, including compliance with over 165 best business practices for Texas law enforcement agencies. On July 14, 2017, the Department was notified that it had met those standards of best practices again and achieved “Re-Recognized Status”. “Recognized Status” is awarded for a four-year period and during that period the agency must submit an annual report and show continuing compliance with several performance related standards.
Chief Thomas N. Shehan, DFW Airport Police (Retired) and Recognition Program founding team member, will make a presentation to the City Council acknowledging that the Mesquite Police Department has again achieved Recognized Status.
