CALEA Accreditation Process
Police Department Information
Our agency strives to follow best practices and as such we are undergoing a voluntary accreditation process through the Commission on Law Enforcement Accreditation (CALEA). As part of this process we need to make available a public portal for the public to comment on our CALEA accreditation process.
The purpose of this portal is to receive public comments regarding an agency's compliance with CALEA standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the participating agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence and this new approach works to further that objective.

IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgment of submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation.
