Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation Program

“In 2021, the Lexington Police Department earned accreditation through the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation (T.L.E.A.) Program, a program created and managed by the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police. Accreditation means the department has policies and procedures in place for situations such as high speed pursuits, arrests and recordkeeping. All of these policies must be in compliance with the highest current professional standards. Benefits of this status include a $100 reduction per officer annually in law enforcement liability premiums and fewer resources spent on legal defense costs. The process requires an in-depth review of every aspect of the department’s organization, management, operations and administration for a three year period. Want to learn more about the T.L.E.A.
