CALEA Commission Standards for Review and Comment: March 2025 (UPDATED 7 APRIL 2025)

AnnouncementsMar 26, 2025

CALEA Accreditation programs continuously undergo comprehensive reviews to remain contemporary and serve as the most recognized resource for best practices in the public safety industry. Specific content reviews often follow major changes in technology, legal rulings, lessons learned from critical events, and fluctuations in societal norms or perspectives. 

During the Full Business Meeting in Garden Grove, CA, on March 20, 2025, the Commission approved the posting of several standards and definitions for client review and comment. The standards will be posted for 30 days on CALEA.org. Feedback should be given by chapter with an indication in the comments section preceded by the standard number. (For example, 1.1.1 (M) Credentialing Program Documentation – the proposed revision is fine as written with the addition of XYZ.)

Deleted language is shown as red strikethrough. The proposed new language is shown as highlighted and in bold text.

The review period ends April 29, 2025.
