Suwanee Police Gain Accreditation Again
The department originally was accredited in 2010.
The Suwanee Police Department again has gained accreditation from a national agency.
According to a city news release, the deparment was given re-accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), for "demonstrating a commitment to professional excellence in policy and practice," according to CALEA.
Suwanee Police Chief Mike Jones accepted the accreditation award at the CALEA national conference recently in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Suwanee first earned accreditation in 2010.
"The first time you're creating policies to meet CALEA's more than 400 standards. To get re-accredited, you have to prove that you've done what you said you would," Jones said.
CALEA accreditation is for a three-year period.
