CALEA
LAW ENFORCEMENT ACCREDITATION
The purpose of the Commission is to establish standards of
professional excellence for public safety agencies, and to develop and
administer a process for recognizing professional excellence.
In the fall of 2006, the
Village of Huntley committed itself to seeking accredited status through the
Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) by
hiring a full time Law Enforcement Accreditation Manager, Gary Wigman. The Department now in
self-assessment hopes to complete the process and become the second agency in
McHenry County to obtain this goal by 2010. |
