Title
Report - Announcement of the CALEA On-Site Assessment.
Body
A team of Assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) will arrive August 12, 2019, to examine all aspects of the Deer Park Police Department’s Policy and Procedures, Management, Operations, and Support Services.
Verification by the Assessors that the Department meets the Commission’s professional standards is part of a voluntary process to maintain the agency’s accredited status, a status validating law enforcement excellence and one held by the Deer Park Police Department since 2006.
The CALEA Assessment team is comprised of law enforcement practitioners from similar, but out-of-state agencies. The Assessors will review written materials, interview employees, and visit offices or other locations where compliance may be observed.
Once the Assessors complete their review of the agency, they will report their findings back to the full Commission, which will then decide if the agency will retain its accredited status.
Summary:
The Chief of Police will announce that the CALEA On-Site Assessment will take place on August 12-15, 2019.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
