Huntsville Police seeks feedback for reaccreditation process

Published on June 9, 2023

The Huntsville Police Department (HPD) is seeking feedback as part of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) reaccreditation process.

Through a public comment portal , community members can submit information about HPD’s engagement in the community, delivery of public safety services and overall candidacy for accredited status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. All comments are sent directly to CALEA to be evaluated as part of the reaccreditation process.

The CALEA public comment portal should only be used to submit information about the quality of service provided by HPD.

First accredited by CALEA in 1996, HPD has successfully maintained its accreditation status for 27 years. The accreditation, which is considered the gold standard in public safety, is voluntary and serves to hold agencies accountable within the community and agency.
