El propósito de la acreditación CALEA® es establecer una base dentro de las organizaciones de seguridad pública que se centra en lograr los mejores resultados en la prestación de servicios. Las revisiones internas y externas consistentes, combinadas con la validación de las políticas y procedimientos de una organización por parte de terceros es crucial en la prestación de servicios de seguridad pública de alta calidad y promueve la rendición de cuentas.

The purpose of CALEA® Accreditation is to establish a foundation within public safety agencies that focuses on achieving the best outcomes in the delivery of services. Consistent internal and external review, combined with third-party validation of an agency’s policies and procedures, is critical in the delivery of high-quality public safety services and promotes accountability.

In 2019 CALEA recognized 40 years of providing professional credentialing services in the field of public safety. As a result of the effort and dedication of all those associated with the organization, CALEA continues to make tremendous advancements, all culminating in the enhancement of services across each accreditation program.

As you know, the Commission cancelled the March 2020 CALEA Conference, and in April announced that the July conference originally scheduled to take place in Oklahoma City, OK, would be held via a virtual platform. We know this is not ideal but given the situation many of us find ourselves in, we are excited about what we have planned for our first CALEA Virtual Conference.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the operations of almost every organization around the globe, and has caused individuals to adjust their daily life activities to maintain personal safety and health.

Accreditation Manager Certification Award is presented to current CALEA Accreditation Managers whom have provided significant contributions to the public safety profession and CALEA. Congratulations to the March recipients!
