CALEA

The Commission for Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) was created in 1979 to offer an accredita- tion process that guides police agencies in the correct standards of profession- alism in three areas: law enforcement, public safety communications, and public-safety training academies. These standards are based on best practices, and are developed to be performance standards toward which an agency works in seeking accreditation. CALEA monitors progress and keeps the standards current as new technolo- gies and practices develop, such as digital photography. Headquartered in Gainesville Va., CALEA is a non-profi t, private organization that researches all aspects of public safety standards to determine what agencies should do for best practices and to be a bench- mark for other agencies. CALEA’s goal is to improve the delivery of public safety service to the community, and to award agencies that achieve success in strengthening their overall performance through a framework of management and service.
The CALEA website is the connection for directions, resources and updates, and an e-newsletter that gives current information about the constantly evolv- ing training and relations factors agen- cies need for legal and service concerns.
