The Beavercreek Police Department has been recognized as an internationally re-accredited police department by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) at their meeting in Baltimore, Maryland on July 31, 2016. The Commission reported that the Beavercreek Police Department has successfully met the requirements of a highly-regarded and broadly-recognized body of law enforcement standards, thereby attaining re-accredited status with excellence.
Re-accreditation Process
The self-evaluation phase of the re-accreditation process required the department to examine all aspects of its functions including policy, procedures, management, operations, and support services. Standards developed by CALEA seek to establish the best professional practices for law enforcement agencies. High liability areas such as use of force, vehicle pursuit, training of personnel, and recruitment and selection, are among the many standards an agency must address.
