The status was finalized on Thursday, November 10, and represents significant professional achievement by acknowledging the department's implementation of policies and procedures that are conceptually sound and considered the best practices for policing within law enforcement nationwide.
The Butler Police Department is one of only six police agencies to have achieved the prestigious State Accredited status. CALEA is one of three agencies nationally recognized within Morris County.
