The Burlington Police Department has embraced CALEA accreditation for many years. Three decades of police chiefs have sought change and attempted to grow the agency.

There are at least three major ways that social media platforms and usage intersect with public safety operations in ways that leaders need to consider and, where deemed appropriate, integrate into agency policies.

The purpose of CALEA® Accreditation is to establish a foundation within public safety agencies that focuses on achieving the best outcomes in the delivery of services. Consistent internal and external review, combined with third-party validation of an agency’s policies and procedures, is critical in the delivery of high-quality public safety services and promotes accountability.

As you know, the Commission cancelled the March 2020 CALEA Conference, and in April announced that the July conference originally scheduled to take place in Oklahoma City, OK, would be held via a virtual platform. We know this is not ideal but given the situation many of us find ourselves in, we are excited about what we have planned for our first CALEA Virtual Conference.

Accreditation Manager Certification Award is presented to current CALEA Accreditation Managers whom have provided significant contributions to the public safety profession and CALEA. Congratulations to the March recipients!
