The Professional Standards Section ensures the department's policies and practices conform to applicable accreditation standards established by CALEA. This unit submits required reports in a timely manner to CALEA and advises the Chief of needed changes in policy and procedures to conform to CALEA standards. The Professional Standards Section keeps the Chief apprised of timetables in reference to re-accreditation activities.
