What is the CALEA Process?
  • Requires an agency to develop a comprehensive, well thought out, uniform set of written directives.  This is one of the most successful methods for reaching administrative and operational goals, while also providing direction to personnel.
  • Provide the necessary reports and analyses a CEO needs to make fact-based, informed management decisions.
  • Require a preparedness program be put in place – so an agency is ready to address natural or man-made critical incidents.
  • Are a means for developing or improving upon an agency’s relationship with the community?
  • Strengthen an agency’s accountability, both within the agency and the community, through a continuum of standards that clearly defines authority, performance, and responsibilities.
  • Can limit an agency’s liability and risk exposure because it demonstrates that internationally recognized standards for law enforcement have been met, as verified by a team of independent outside CALEA-trained assessors and compliance service members.
  • Facilitates an agency’s pursuits of professional excellence.
