Accreditation Assessment

A team of assessors from the Michigan Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (MLEAC) will be at ERPD on May 28th and 29th, 2026, to examine all aspects of the Eaton Rapids Police Department policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

The team's mission is to verify that we at ERPD meet the MCLEAC’s one hundred and thirty standards as part of the voluntary process to achieve accreditation with the commission. This is a highly respected achievement for a law enforcement agency and one we are excited about and expect to achieve.

As part of this final On-Site Assessment, employees and members of the general public are invited to provide comments to the Assessment Team. They may do so by telephone or email. The public may call 517-237-3772 on May 29th, 2026, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 11:00AM or submit email comments to Accreditation Manager Lt. Paul Creger at [email protected].

Accreditation is valid for a three-year period during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to its continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.

We appreciate your support and look forward to getting your feedback.

Respectfully,

Larry Joe Weeks
Chief of Police

The Eaton Rapids Police Department would like to thank the Eaton Rapids/Mason Girl Scout Brownie Troop # 30627 for donating 10 cases of Girl Scout Cookies to the department. The girls voted & decided where to donate the cookies and our officers are very appreciative for that. Lt. Paul Creger, Det. Ken Snyder & Off. Craig Briscoe was more than happy to take a couple pictures with the girls. Thanks again!!

Shortly after joining our team, SRO Ferguson launched the “Food with Ferg” program. This unique initiative invites interested students to enjoy a complimentary lunch with SRO Ferguson at a local restaurant or cafeteria. During the ride in a patrol car and throughout the meal, students have the chance to engage in open, friendly conversations about policing and any topics they wish to discuss—all in a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere. The response from students has been overwhelmingly positive, highlighting the program’s impact on building trust and connection.

This program thrives thanks to the incredible generosity of our community partners. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to Los Flores, T&D Coney, Marks Place, Eaton Rapids Medical Center, Burger King, and McDonald's for their enthusiastic support. If you would like to help make a difference through this initiative, please reach out to SRO Ferguson at [email protected] to learn how you can get involved.

A big thank you to whoever nominated SRO Ferguson. He would insist on pointing to the great resturants, shoe donors, the school staff and most importantly the students who he supports for any success he has had.

We also want to acknowledge Eaton Rapids Public Schools for being such a valuable partner and thier continued support for this position.

Let's Go ER!!!
