4.7.4(M) Accreditation Process Information

The CALEA Standards Review and Interpretation Committee, referred to as the “SRIC” meets in Executive Session just prior to each CALEA conference to work on standards for revision or creation of new ones.  At the CALEA conference, the entire Commission votes to either approve a standard or direct staff to post the standard for client comments.  Deleted language is shown in strikethrough and highlights.  The proposed new language is shown in red font and bold.

Please review the standard and complete the web form by Friday, September 23th, 2022.

Information regarding the accreditation process is provided to academy employees, as follows:

  1. newly hired or assigned within 30 days after their employment begins; and
  2. during the self-assessment phase associated with achieving initial accreditation.; and
  3. prior to an on-site assessment.

Commentary

The intent of this standard is twofold. First, it ensures that all employees are familiar with accreditation and what it entails during the self-assessment process. Second, familiarizing new employees with the process will provide a historical perspective and emphasize the importance of accreditation to the organization. It is recommended that familiarization include the history and background of accreditation and the academy's involvement in the process, the accreditation process, the goals and objectives of accreditation, and the advantages of accreditation and its impact on the academy. Familiarization may be achieved by such means as classroom instruction, newsletter, memo, and periodic attendance by management staff at conferences of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.
