Is the Puyallup Police Department a State Accredited Agency?

No.  The department began the process to become an accredited law enforcement agency in January of this year.  Due to the Covid-19 impacts, the process has been paused.  The department fully intends to become an accredited law enforcement agency and looks forward to resuming the accreditation process as soon as practical given the impacts of Covid-19 in the workplace.
