The Huntsville Police Department has achieved “Recognized Status” for compliance with the Texas Law Enforcement
Agency Best Practices Recognition Program.
The recognition, earned after over two years of intensive departmental effort, makes HPD one of only 87 agencies
statewide to earn this honor.
“I am incredibly proud of our entire department for reaching this milestone achievement – it is truly a testament to the
hard work, professionalism and abilities of the men and women of the Huntsville Police Department,” Chief Kevin
Lunsford said. “A special thank you is owed to Lt. Curt Landrum who has diligently worked for over two years as the
program administrator to help us achieve this goal.”
The Law Enforcement Recognition Program is a voluntary process where police agencies in Texas demonstrate their
compliance with over 160 best practices. Being “Recognized” means the agency meets or exceeds all of the best
practices.
In the near future, the Texas Police Chief Association Foundation will make a special presentation in recognition of the
department’s efforts and recognition
“The Huntsville Police Department is to be commended for the commitment made to this process,” said Chief Scott D.
Rubin, Chairman of the TPCAF Recognition Program Committee. “This Recognition Program is raising the bar for Law
Enforcement in Texas and The Huntsville Police Department is part of it!”
