The UAB Police and Public Safety Department was first accredited in 1995. The CALEA Accreditation program provides law enforcement with an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with an established set of professional standards on a voluntary basis, and includes an external, objective evaluation of the Agency’s operations. The annual-on site verifies that the Agency continues to meet specifically defined professional standards to maintain its Accreditation. CALEA maintains an access portal that allows for comment and feedback with regard to the Agency seeking reaccreditation status. This is an opportunity for comments, commendations, and other information regarding the Agency’s quality of service or information relevant to the accreditation.
Please Note: The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding an agency's compliance with CALEA standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the participating agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.
