Full Notification

The Ashland Police Department is a CALEA Accredited Agency. Annually, standards within our agency are audited by a certified CALEA Assessor. One part of that audit is public comment, this in years past has been by phone or in person; this year it has been changed to an online portal. Please note, we are not sent these comments as you submit them. Please read the statement from CALEA and comment utilizing the link below.
Accreditation Public Comment Portal -
The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding an agency'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 in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide the participating agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.
IMPORTANT: CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purposes. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgement to submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation.
