About CALEA Accreditation
The Salem Police Department is in the final stages of obtaining accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). Accreditation signifies that an agency is complying with the best practice standards for the profession. This includes routine review and changes to policy and procedures to ensure compliance with the best practice standards. Adhering to CALEA standards reduces civil liability and promotes community trust in the organization.
CALEA accreditation requires agencies to seek public input, comment, commendations, and other information regarding the agency's quality of service or other information relevant to the accreditation process.
