Putnam Police Attain Tier 1
At last week’s Police Officer Standards and Training Council meeting the council formally recognized that the Putnam Police Department has met the required standards and was awarded Tier 1 State Accreditation status. Chief Chris Ferace and Captain Justin Lussier received the award. Ferace credited and complimented Captain Lussier for his work, enabling the department to meet the Tier 1 standard. “This accomplishment was not an easy task; it required a complete re-write of our General Orders and Department Policies to meet the accreditation liability standards. We are a small department; we do not have the extra personnel to re-assign or dedicate to this complex task. Fortunately, Captain Lussier was up to the challenge and completed this project in addition to his day-to-day responsibilities.”
