Rhode Island College earns accreditation

Rhode Island College police has earned three years of accreditation from the Rhode Island Police Accreditation Commission (RIPAC), which upholds standards designed to reflect law enforcement best practices in management, administration, operations and support services. The college is now one of 30-plus accredited police agencies in Rhode Island.

Accreditation was the goal of Chief of the Rhode Island College Police Department and Director of Security and Safety James Mendonca for the 21-member force since assuming his role in 2019.
