OSHKOSH POLICE DEPARTMENT EARNS CALEA RE-ACCREDITATION

[We have received this from Chief Scott Greuel of the Oshkosh Police Department and are proud to publish it here.]

The Oshkosh Police Department has earned its 5th Accreditation award. We appeared before the members of the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Officers at the recent conference and were unanimously approved for re-accreditation. This is a coveted award among law enforcement agencies and shows that we are operating under the “Best Police Practices” and are in complete compliance with 460 standards for our size agency. Lt. Kevin Konrad, accreditation manager, did a great job of maintaining the standard proof files and coordinating the efforts of many people in the organization to get us on-site assessment ready. I am very proud of the professionalism of the personnel in our organization and once again we are an example for others to follow. There currently are only two police departments in the state that have earned CALEA Accreditation. Our goal is to build community trust in our abilities and that they have the confidence that we are adhering to professional and ethical standards of law enforcement.
