CALEA FLAGSHIP
AGENCY PROGRAM The CALEA® Flagship Agency Program is designed to acknowledge CALEA Accredited public safety agencies that have demonstrated success in the accreditation process. The program also serves to provide other agencies seeking accreditation with examples of “best practices” on how to address compliance, policy development, file maintenance, and other issues relating to the accreditation process. The Flagship Agency designation is effective for the duration of the current award period. Prior to each conference, CALEA staff will select flagship agencies based primarily on their past awards, current assessment and overall professional standing in the public safety community. Selected agencies will have the opportunity to exhibit in the vendor area or serve as a resource at the Process and Programs Info Desk. Both options will occur at the conference associated with the agency’s scheduled assessment review. The intent of these activities is to allow conference attendees to network with staff from seasoned accredited agencies, thereby serving as a resource to newly accredited agencies and others seeking information about the process. This networking time should include discussions regarding accreditation issues based on successful experiences and practices. These activities are optional for Flagship Agencies, but are encouraged as a strategy for enhancing the overall professionalism of public safety. The number of Flagship Agencies for each conference is not limited; however, the Commission may limit the number of agencies exhibiting for this purpose due to space availability. A Flagship Agency must meet the following minimum criteria:
NOTE: These criteria are applied in the identification of Flagship agencies, along with other subjective factors that impact the selection process. CALEA Flagship Agencies are announced at the Commission Opening Session, receive a certificate at the Celebration Banquet, and are recognized on the CALEA Website and in the CALEA Update magazine.
