In 2015, the North Kingstown Police Department achieved accreditation as a recognized police agency. Accreditation is a thorough review process that law enforcement organizations undergo to demonstrate their ability to meet over 200 predetermined criteria and standards. Receiving accreditation is a formal recognition that an agency has successfully met specific requirements and adhered to industry best practices. The accreditation program in Rhode Island was developed by the Rhode Island Police Accreditation Commission (RIPAC), which collaborates with industry experts to ensure that quality, professionalism, and accountability are upheld throughout all aspects of an accredited organization. On a three-year reevaluation cycle, accredited agencies must continue to meet these performance standards and undergo comprehensive reviews to maintain their accreditation status.
