Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) Invitation for Public Comment

The Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) is currently pursuing accredited status with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). As part of its assessment process, CALEA provides an opportunity for public feedback via a web-based public comment portal. The posting of this public comment portal is a requirement of CALEA law enforcement standard 45.2.3.

The purpose of this public comment portal is to receive comments regarding the SCSO’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 made in the form of commendations or concerns. Information received from this public comment portal will be used by CALEA and the SCSO to support continuous improvement and foster the pursuit of professional excellence.

IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body; subsequently, the public comment portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. To file a formal complaint or commendation, please contact the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office directly.

Additionally, there will be no response other than an acknowledgment that the submission was received. The information provided will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with the standards and tenets of CALEA Accreditation.
