Newtown Borough Police Department Police Chief James Sabath announced at the Newtown Borough Council meeting this evening that the department has received Pennsylvania Law Enforcement Accreditation.  Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven way of assisting police departments evaluate and improve their overall performance. The cornerstone of this strategy lies in the promulgation of standards containing a clear statement of professional objectives. Participating agencies then conduct a thorough analysis to determine how existing operations can be adapted to meet these objectives.  When the procedures are in place, a team of independent professionals is assigned to verify that all applicable standards have been successfully implemented.
