Public Notice

The Lincolnton Police Department will undergo an assessment on August 28, 2024, as part of its pursuit of law enforcement accreditation. This assessment, conducted by the North Carolina Law Enforcement Accreditation (NCLEA) program, is designed to ensure that our department meets established professional standards.

The accreditation process evaluates various aspects of law enforcement operations, including policies and procedures, administration, support services, training, facilities management, safety, and record-keeping. These standards are crucial for maintaining high-quality public safety services.

Agency employees and community members are invited to provide feedback on the Lincolnton Police Department’s adherence to NCLEA’s Standards. Comments should be submitted via email or mail by August 27, 2024, one day before the on-site assessment. All feedback will be reviewed by the Assessment Team.
