The Atlanta Police Department has earned reaccreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) for the 4th time since 2005. The Department was recently recognized at the CALEA National Conference in San Diego, CA. Certification status represents a significant professional achievement and is confirmation that APD practices are consistent with progressive professional standards. The CALEA assessors spent several days evaluating the Department in November 2013 and examined all aspects of the Atlanta Police Department policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services. Verification by the team is a part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation, a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence. “We are pleased to be reaccredited again by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. This certification is validation that the high standards we hold our personnel is aligned with national guidelines. This certification will help to instill greater public confidence in our agency,” said Chief George N. Turner The CALEA Accreditation award is for three years and the Department is required to maintain continuous compliance during the award period.
