August 3, 2017, signifies the 8th time that the City of Miramar Police Department has received CALEA® Accreditation from the international Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. CALEA® Accreditation is considered the International Gold Standard for Public Safety Agencies. Under this designation, the Miramar Police Department’s status will remain in effect for four years. Although, Police Departments are mandated to remain in compliance with CALEA® standards; notification of this accreditation is a significant professional accomplishment.
The process for CALEA® Accreditation involves a rigorous self-assessment, requiring a review of policies, practices and processes against internationally accepted public standards. It is followed by an assessment by independent assessors with significant public safety experience. Public feedback is also a critical part of confirmation. The final decision to accredit is rendered by a governing body of twenty-one Commissioners following a public hearing and a review of all reporting documentation.
CALEA’s ® Executive Director, W. Craig Hartley Jr. and Chairperson Richard W. Myers extended the City of Miramar and its Police Department a congratulations via correspondence acknowledging their commitment to professional excellence through accreditation.
Excellence in Law Enforcement………It’s Right Here In Miramar!™
