EIGHT - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, December 7 , 2022 BPD receives hard-won accreditation After several years of work, Boardman Police Department has received state accreditation through the Oregon Accreditation Alliance. Such accredita- tion means that the Board- man PD meets the state’s “best practice” standards. It is a voluntary process to achieve accreditation, which is a “highly-prized recognition of law enforce- ment professional excel- lence.” “After three years of hard work, I am excited to say that the Boardman Police Department has re- ceived our state accred- itation,” the department posted on its Facebook page. “I am very proud of all the hard work our team does every day to serve our community.” Heppner Varsity Boys Basketball Non-League Wed., 11/30/22 7:30pm @ Echo Fri., 12/2/22 7:30pm vs. McLoughlin Sat., 12/3/22 3pm vs. Dufur Tues., 12/6/22 6:30pm vs. Union Fri., 12/9/22 7:30pm @ Dufur Tues., 12/13/22 7:30pm vs. Echo Thurs., 12/15/22 7:30pm @ Riverside Fri., 12/16/22, 7:30pm vs. Central Linn Sat., 12/17/22, 3:30pm vs. South Wasco County Wed., 12/28/22, 4:30pm vs. Toledo (Pendleton Convention Center) Thurs., 12/29/22, 1:30pm vs. Knappa (Pendleton Conven- tion Center) Fri., 12/30/22, 5:30pm vs. Vernonia (Pendleton Conven- tion Center) League Sat., 1/7/23, TBD @ Grant Union Fri., 1/13/23, 7:30pm @ Weston-McEwen Sat., 1/14/23, 5:30pm vs. Stanfield Fri., 1/20/23, 7:30pm @ Enterprise Sat., 1/21/23, 5:30pm vs. Irrigon Thurs., 1/26/23, TBD vs. Grant Union Fri., 1/27/23, 7:30pm @ Stanfield Fri., 2/3/23, 7:30pm vs. Enterprise Sat., 2/4/23, 5:30pm @ Irrigon Fri., 2/10/23, 7:30pm vs. Weston-McEwen State accreditation con- sists of five phases, includ- ing application, self-assess- ment, on-site assessment, board review and continued compliance. To be certified by the Oregon Accreditation Al- liance is to receive a seal of approval that the Board- man Police Department’s policies, procedures and practices are aligned with an identified international set of best practices in crit- ical areas of high risk and liability, accountability, and transparency. It also ensures the police department is operating efficiently and meeting the community’s needs. BPD says the accredi- tation process is one more step the department has taken to build trust and legitimacy within its com- munity. “Our team takes great pride in knowing we em- ploy outstanding police of- ficers and support staff that do their best every day to care for our community and live up to the ever-chang- ing ‘best practice’ policing standards identified across our state and throughout the nation,” the police de- partment’s statement con- cluded.
