CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) accreditation, represents a third-party review of policies, practices, and processes against internationally accepted public safety standards.
We have attained certification in both law enforcement and communications (emergency communications center/911 dispatch). As part of our on-going certification process, CALEA has established a public portal to receive comments regarding GRPD's compliance with its standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the participating agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.
IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgement to submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA accreditation.
