FRAMINGHAM, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The Massachusetts Police Accreditation Commission, MPAC, will be on-site with Massachusetts State Police on November 4th to assess for re-accreditation.

The Commission uses a set of nationally recognized standards for best practices in policy, operations, training, and facilities to voluntarily demonstrate commitment to excellence in law enforcement.

The Massachusetts State Police first received their accreditation from MPAC in 2022 and began this year’s re-accreditation process in September 2025.
