Monroe, NY - Police Department Gets Rave Reviews

Monroe, NY - Three cops hired by the state to evaluate the Monroe Police Department concluded their three-day review by raving about the professionalism of its officers.

The assessors announced they will recommend that the state renew Monroe's accreditation, a mark of prestige worn by only three other Orange County departments - Woodbury, New Windsor and Cornwall.

The state Department of Criminal Justice Services accredits police agencies that meet 130 professional standards and then re-evaluates them every five years for renewal. Monroe first got its accreditation in 2001.
