The Lake Havasu City Police Department (LHCPD) is seeking accreditation through the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police (AACOP) Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP).  Accreditation is a progressive and time proven method of assisting law enforcement agencies in measuring and improving their overall performance.  ALEAP is intended to provide law enforcement agencies in the state with an avenue for demonstrating that they meet commonly accepted best practices and industry standards for efficient, effective, productive and quality operations.

A team of assessors will be conducting an on-site assessment of LHCPD’s compliance with the ALEAP standards as part of the voluntary pursuit to achieve ALEAP accreditation. As part of the on-site assessment, members of the community and agency employees are invited to offer comments regarding LHCPD during a public call-in session on Monday, December 2, between the hours of 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm.  Calls can be made this phone number:

Callers will speak directly with ALEAP assessors.  Comments should be limited to five (5) minutes and address the department’s ability to comply with ALEAP standards.

A copy of the standards is available for review at the following website and address:
