Oshkosh Police Department Re-Accreditation

The Oshkosh Police Department is scheduled for a re-accreditation on-site assessment from December 13th through the 17th, 2008. This assessment is conducted by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). As part of this ongoing process of improvement, CALEA will verify that the Oshkosh Police Department meets specific professional standards and uses the best police practices in law enforcement today.

The Oshkosh Police Department is one of only four law enforcement agencies in the State of Wisconsin currently accredited by CALEA. The CALEA accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in areas such as Policy and Procedure, Administration, Operations and Support Services.

As part of the on-site assessment, members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on Monday December 15, 2008 at 7:00pm. The session will be conducted in Room 404 of the Oshkosh City Hall at 215 Church Ave., Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

If you cannot attend the public meeting, you are also invited to offer comments by calling the accreditation assessment team at (920) 236-5753 on Monday December 15, 2008 between the hours of 1pm and 5pm.

Anyone wishing to submit written comments about the Oshkosh Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for re-accreditation may send them to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, Inc. (CALEA), 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, Virginia, 22030-2215
