LPD Transparency 

The Lebanon Police Department is committed to accountability, transparency, fairness, integrity, compassion, respect, and professionalism. To remain committed to and demonstrative of these values, we have posted current policies and procedures that guide the conduct of all Lebanon police officers, which we review and evaluate on a regular basis.

The Lebanon Police Department is in the process of becoming nationally accredited by the Commission on Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). CALEA measures standards of the best practices in all facets of law enforcement.
