On June 20, 2023, the Tarrant County Constable’s Office, Precinct 1 received the award of “Accredited Law Enforcement Agency” from the Texas Police Chiefs Association Law Enforcement Accreditation Program.  The Accreditation Program evaluates a Police Department’s compliance with 173 Best Business Practices for Texas Law Enforcement.  These Best Practices were carefully developed by Texas Law Enforcement professionals to assist agencies in the efficient and effective delivery of service and the protection of individual’s rights. 

This voluntary process required the Precinct 1 Constable’s Office to conduct a critical self-review of the agency’s policies, procedures, facilities and operations.  Beginning in September of 2021, the department begin the lengthy process to become an “Accredited” Law Enforcement Agency” by preparing proofs of compliance for each of the Texas Law Enforcement Best Business Practices. Upon completion of the internal review, an outside audit and review was requested.  The final on-site review took place on June 13-14, 2023 and was conducted by trained Police Chiefs from other areas of our state.  The result of this review was then sent to the Texas Police Chiefs Association’s Accreditation Committee for final analysis and the consideration to award the “Accredited” status.  

The Tarrant County Constable Precinct 1 Office is the 195th agency and

the 5th Constable’s Office in Texas to be accredited.
