The Scottsdale Police Department is seeking input from the community as it begins its Year 2 re-accreditation review with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA). The department, which has held CALEA accreditation since 1994, must comply with 462 standards to maintain this status. Accreditation lasts four years, and during that period, the agency is required to submit annual reports confirming ongoing compliance with these standards.
Community members are encouraged to provide written comments regarding the department’s ability to meet accreditation standards, its engagement with the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall suitability for accredited status.
A compliance service member from CALEA will start a file review on Friday, Oct. 31. This review will cover all aspects of the Scottsdale Police Department’s policies and procedures, management practices, operations, and support services.
“Anyone wishing to offer written comments and feedback about the Scottsdale Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for accreditation, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status is requested to submit comments and feedback.”
