Verification that the Danbury Police Department meets the POST Council’s accreditation standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation—a highly regarded recognition of law enforcement professional excellence, police said.

The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other places where compliance can be witnessed. Accreditation is valid for four years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards, under which they were initially accredited or re-accredited.

The assessment team is made up of law enforcement practitioners from the Connecticut law enforcement community. The accreditation manager for the Danbury Police Department is Lt. Martin Lobraico.

As part of the on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments by mailed to William E. Tanner, III POSTC Accreditation Division at 285 Preston Ave. Meriden, Ct 06450, by telephone at 203-427-2606, by fax at 203-238-6643 or by email Accreditation.Compliance@ct.gov. Enter the City of Danbury Police Department in the subject line of the email.

A copy of the state accreditation standards is available at the Danbury Police Department, 375 Main St. Danbury, CT 06810. Please contact Lt. Martin Lobraico, 203-730-6392 for more information.
