Accreditation
|
 |
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) has accredited the University of Maryland Police, College Park following an in-depth examination of the agency's administration and operations. Accreditation is a coveted award that symbolizes professionalism, excellence, and competence. We take pride in our agency knowing we represent the very best in law enforcement for our community. |
|
CALEA developed the accreditation process so that law enforcement agencies have the opportunity to voluntarily demonstrate their compliance with an established set of professional standards. The accreditation standards established by CALEA are designed to: |
|
|
|
-
Increase citizen and employee confidence in the goals, objectives, policies, and practices of the agency.
|
|
To maintain accredited status, the agency must remain in compliance with applicable standards and undergo on-site assessments by CALEA representatives every three years. The agency submits annual reports to the Commission attesting to continued compliance and steps taken to correct any matters of noncompliance. |
