Bristol, Tenn. Police Department receives TLEA accreditation status
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — The Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation (TLEA) Program granted accreditation status to the Bristol, Tennessee Police Department. The police department received this accreditation during the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police meeting in Nashville on April 9. The police department accomplished TLEA accreditation by meeting the criteria that measured the level of professionalism, organization and overall readiness in law enforcement policy and procedures. This is the fifth TLEA award this department has received. 'The standard of excellence that is met through this process is to be admired. We are proud to recognize the hard work of the Bristol Tennessee Police Department, its staff, and community leaders,' TACP President Mark Gibson said. To achieve TLEA accreditation, agencies voluntarily submit a three-year process that enhances the professionalism and effectiveness of the agency using the 164 law enforcement standards. The standards used aid in evaluating the agency's policies in various areas such as organizational, operational and budget management practices. The TLEA program is intended to encourage cooperation, recognize professional standing, develop professional services and ensure public safety throughout Tennessee. 'I believe being an accredited agency means each member of the Bristol Tennessee Police Department is devoted to providing professional services to every person and each day will continue to provide service and protection to all citizens and visitors of Bristol, Tennessee,' Bristol Police Chief Matt Austin said. The program was created under the authority and direction of the TACP, which endorses and supports the improvement of law enforcement and emergency communications operations and maintains the framework for equal access to effective and comprehensive polices for Tennessee law enforcement.

In a statement, the ITIA added that Castro had been "fined $6,000 following 12 breaches of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP)".

"Castro has been provisionally suspended since November 7 2024, as such, their suspension will end on November 6 2030."
