Delaware River and Bay Authority (DRBA) Police Department officials have announced that the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) recently voted unanimously to reaccredit the DRBA Police Department with its Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation Award. This is Delaware River and Bay Authority’s tenth award of national accreditation. In 2011, CALEA introduced the Gold Standard with Excellence Assessment, now termed Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation Award, for agencies who voluntarily seek a higher level of evaluation during the reaccreditation process. The rigorous Advanced Accreditation Assessment focuses not only by inspecting compliance files but also permits on-site inspectors to spend more time observing personnel in the field. The purpose of CALEA’s Accreditation Programs is to improve the delivery of public safety services, primarily by: maintaining a body of standards, developed by public safety practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date public safety initiatives; establishing and administering an accreditation process; and recognizing professional excellence.
