NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is making final preparations for re-accreditation.
Representatives of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies will be in Nashville Aug. 19-22.
The TBI was first accredited in 1994 and has been re-accredited in 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006 and 2009. The re-accreditation process will include an inspection of records, interviews with personnel and comments from the public.
According to a TBI news release, the agency was just the third state criminal investigative agency to be accredited.
