DeKalb County Police expect to have their accreditation renewed Saturday, officials said Thursday.

Chief William O’Brien travelled to Maryland Thursday to meet with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. The chief will answer questions and a final vote is scheduled for Saturday, Major James Conroy said.

The accrediting agency visited DeKalb in December to assess the department’s compliance with 464 national standards.

The department has been accredited since 1991, but is required to be re-assessed every three years, police said.
