Since I made changes in the police department a few years ago and demanded a better more professional department the department has taken giant steps forward. One of these major steps is an on-site assessment as part of a program to achieve accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards. Administered by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®), the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services.
As part of the on-site assessment, Department employees and members of the community are invited to offer comment at a public information session on Monday, December 15, 2008 at 4:00 p.m. The session will be conducted in the Round Lake Police Department Community Room located at 741 West Town Line Road, Round Lake, Illinois 60073.
Department members and the public are also invited to offer comments by calling (847) 201-2169 on December 15, 2008 between the hours of 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team. Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the Department’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards. To review the standards, please contact Director Michael S. Recupito at (847) 546-8112.
Anyone wishing to submit written comments about the Round Lake Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for accreditation may send them to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®), 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, Virginia, 22030-2215, or www.calea.org
