The Delaware Police Officer Standards and Training Commission (POST) is proud to announce that the Harrington Police Department has officially earned state accreditation from the Delaware Police Accreditation Commission (DPAC). As part of the rigorous process, a team of DPAC assessors ensured all accreditation standards were met by completing comprehensive on-site inspections of the agency, reviewing their policies and procedures for compliance, and conducting interviews with department members. Accreditation is a major achievement that reflects their commitment to professionalism, accountability, and excellence in service.

This recognition doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of hard work, high standards, and a dedication to keeping Harrington safe every single day.

Please join us in congratulating our officers and staff on this well-deserved accomplishment!
