COMMISSION
ON ACCREDITATION FOR LAW
NEWS
RELEASE THE
2002 EXECUTIVE BOARD April
1, 2002 The Commission on
Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) is pleased to announce
the new 2002 CALEA Executive Board. These changes were made at the March 2002
meeting in Jacksonville, Florida and are effective March 25, 2002 through the
end of the current year. These mid-year changes were necessitated by the resignation of Commissioner Stephen Monier, who was elected Commission Chairperson/President in November 2001. Commissioner Monier’s withdrawal from all outside boards and commissions was mandated by his designation as a candidate for U.S. Marshal for the district of New Hampshire. CALEA was established as an independent accrediting authority in 1979 by the four major law enforcement membership associations: International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP); National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE); National Sheriffs' Association (NSA); and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). The Executive Directors of these four associations appoint members to the Commission annually. The Commission has 21 members; 11 members are law enforcement practitioners; the remaining 10 members are from the public and private sectors. The position is voluntary with Commissioners appointed to a term of three years. The Commission meets three times each year. The new Executive Board is
made up of the following Commissioners: Commission Chairperson/President,
James M. O’Dell, Chief of Police, Kettering, OH; Commission Vice President,
James T. Moore, Commissioner, Florida Department of Law Enforcement; Commission
Secretary, Eduardo Gonzalez, Retired Director of the U.S. Marshals Service; Commission
Treasurer, Patrick Oliver, Chief of Police, Fairborn, OH, and Immediate Past
Commission Chairperson, William D. Miller, Chief of Police, Elgin, IL.
In addition, Commissioner Jack Bishop, Polk County Supervisor, Des Moines, Iowa, resigned from the Commission, effective April 1. 2002, after serving as a Commissioner for 10 years. During this period, Commissioner Bishop was a strong supporter of both CALEA and the accreditation process. CALEA congratulates the new
2002 Executive Board and wishes them well in their new duties. Source:
