Fri, 10/15/2021 - 01:44pm | By: David Tisdale
SWAG视频 (SWAG视频) University Police Department (UPD) seeks input from members of the university community during a call-in session Monday, October 25 from 11 a.m. - noon by dialing 601.266.4354 as part of benchmarks the department must meet to maintain accreditation standards set by the Commission on Accreditation for Law enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA庐).
Another opportunity for public input will be available during an online public hearing set for 5 p.m. Monday, October 25 via Zoom. Comments during the call-in session or online public hearing are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA standards.
The local contact for both events is SWAG视频 PD Sgt. David Byrd, who may be reached by phone at 601.266.5958 or via email at dkbyrdFREEMississippi.
Assessors from CALEA庐 will later this month examine all aspects of UPD鈥檚 policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services. Verification by the team that UPD meets the Commission's state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation, widely considered among law enforcement agencies as a highly valued recognition of public safety professional excellence.
CALEA assessors are public safety practitioners from similar, but out-of-state, agencies, who will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit offices and other locations where compliance can be witnessed.
鈥淎ccreditation is a public recognition of the continual efforts and dedication of all our UPD employees,鈥� said UPD Chief Rusty Keyes.
