A team of assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. will start assessing the Suwanee Police Department on June 22 to examine all aspects of the department’s policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

“Verification by the team that the Suwanee Police Department meets the Commission’s state- of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation – a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence,” said Suwanee Police Chief Mike Jones.

The community is invited to offer comments at a public information Zoom session at 4:30 p.m. Monday, June 22. Registration is required in advance.

Individuals unable to speak at the public information session may provide comments to the assessment team by calling between the hours of 1 and 3 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 at 770 904-7655.

Telephone comments, as well as appearances at the public information session, are limited to ten minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA standards. A copy of the standards is available at the Suwanee Police Department, 373 Highway 23. Local contact is Lt. Dan Clark, 770 904-7605.
