Police Department Recognition

The North Richland Hills Police Department was recently recognized for being re-certified through the Texas Police Chiefs Association Best Practices Accreditation Program. 

This program evaluates a Police Department’s compliance with over 170 Best Business Practices for Law Enforcement. The best practices have been carefully developed to assist agencies in the efficient and effective delivery of service and the protection of individuals’ rights. They cover all aspects of law enforcement including use of force, protection of citizen rights, vehicle pursuits, property and evidence management, and patrol and investigative operations. 

NRHPD has been a recognized agency since 2011, and is 1 of the 180 law enforcement agencies recognized. Agencies must apply for re-certification every 4 years. This year, NRHPD earned a perfect score, indicating 100% compliance in all 170 Best Practices. They truly are the best of the best! 

Tarrant County Sheriff Bill Waybourn and District Attorney Phil Sorrells presented the award to Police Chief Mike Young during this week’s City Council Meeting. You can watch the presentation online. 

Join us in congratulating the entire Police Department on this remarkable accomplishment!
