The Alpharetta Department of Public Safety announced it has earned reaccreditation with excellence from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. Only 3.7 percent of law enforcement agencies in the country are CALEA-accredited, and only about 10 percent of that number earn the Accreditation with Excellence designation, officials said.
Public safety agencies voluntarily seek accreditation by meeting a set of professional standards and processes for decision-making. Compliance with the hundreds of standards is verified by a team of independent, out-of-state, CALEA-trained assessors. They base their findings on observations, public feedback and staff interactions.
The assessors visited Alpharetta in March, and their findings were announced at CALEA’s recent national conference.
