THP Receives Accreditation Award

The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security is proud to announce that the Tennessee Highway Patrol has been awarded its Fifth Accreditation Award by the Tennessee Association of Chiefs of Police.

Earlier this year, the TACP Professional Standards Committee, in partnership with the Tennessee Law Enforcement Accreditation Program, voted to confer this prestigious recognition following a comprehensive review of the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s continued compliance with statewide professional standards.

This accreditation is granted for a three‑year period, extending through June 2030, and aligns with the agency’s assessment cycle. The award reflects the Tennessee Highway Patrol’s sustained commitment to meeting and exceeding all established standards, including newly adopted or amended requirements set forth by the Professional Standards Committee.
