The Henry County Board of Commissioners recognized the Henry County Police Department at the scheduled Commission meeting for earning its approved state re-certification to remain an accredited agency.

  Deputy Manager Brad Johnson gave the presentation, lauding the department for its re-certification from the Georgia Association of Police Chiefs and presented Police Chief Mark Amerman with a plaque from the corresponding association.

  He commended the outstanding professional achievement and said it was all made possible because of the leadership of the police chief and his command staff.

“I want to congratulate them and present the Chief with a plaque from the Georgia Association of Police Chiefs and on a job well done,” said Johnson.

  Following his recognition, Amerman shared remarks on receiving the certification and also presented HCPD Certification Manager Felicia Henley with a plaque as well.

  “This accreditation, this whole process allows me internally to know that the police department is using the state’s best practices, said Amerman. “The person who did all of the leg work, the ground work and went through 140 files and over 250 policies to make sure they were up to standards is Officer Felicia Henley.”

Amerman further stated that he appreciated Henley for her hard work and dedication ensuring the department’s re-certification.
