Accreditation

Accreditation is a voluntary program whereby an agency demonstrates compliance with best practice standards determined by the accrediting body. Overall, accreditation is a commitment to providing the community with the best in public safety services by:

  • Maintaining comprehensive policies and procedures
  • Enhancing service delivery
  • Strengthening agency accountability and community relationships
  • Establishing fair and non-discriminatory recruitment and hiring practices

International Accreditation

The department earned internationally recognized accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®) in March 2017.

Maintaining Accreditation

The department must submit annual reports demonstrating continued compliance with each accrediting body. Every four years, the department will be re-evaluated by a team of independent assessors to determine re-accreditation.
