Gwinnett Police Department Marks 30 Years Of CALEA Accredidation

Press release from the Gwinnett Police Department:

March 7, 2023

The Gwinnett Police Department is celebrating 30 years (1993-2023) of law enforcement accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), Inc.

Additionally, in November 2021, the Gwinnett Police received the Communications Accreditation and Training Academy Accreditation, making Gwinnett Police the first law enforcement agency in Georgia to earn CALEA's Tri-Arc Award.

CALEA aims to improve the delivery of public safety services by keeping a body of professional standards that support the administration of accreditation programs. CALEA accreditation succeeds through agency leadership, agency personnel, and the community. We received and maintained these prestigious certifications through professional, honorable, and compassionate service.

There are many elements involved in keeping these certifications, one of which is a public portal to receive comments about the agency's compliance with CALEA accreditation standards, engagement in the community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status.

We value all input, so if you want to leave commendations or concerns for any of the CALEA programs, please visit our website: Accreditation - Gwinnett | Gwinnett County, We look forward to hearing from you.
