The Kansas Highway Patrol will host virtual assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) to examine aspects of the organization’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

Administered by CALEA, the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four basic areas: policy and procedure, administration, operations, and support services.

As part of the assessment, agency employees and members of the public are invited to offer comments directly to the assessment team during a public information session. The event will be held virtually on Monday at 5 p.m. via Microsoft Teams and can be accessed through this link https://bit.ly/3vInZud.

Anyone unable to attend the public information session may address the assessors by calling (785) 554-0639 on Monday between 2-4 p.m. Comments are limited to ten minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards.

Persons wishing to offer written comments about the Highway Patrol’s ability to meet the standards for accreditation are requested to write: Commission for Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., 13575 Heathcote Blvd, Suite 320, Gainesville, Virginia 20155, or call (703) 352-4225.
