Higher-education accreditation is tremendously important; failure to secure or maintain accreditation can be devastating to both the university and its students. For example, institutions and their students are unable to participate in federal student loan programs and, in the case of graduates of an unaccredited law school program, they may be unable to practice law in certain states. Police accreditation, while arguably beneficial, has not risen to that level of importance. Do colleges and universities have a greater incentive to seek a competitive edge or demonstrate legitimacy than local police departments? After all, individuals have options on where to pursue a higher education. They are generally constrained to their local government law enforcement agency. How would you promote the value of accreditation for law enforcement agencies?
