Office of Professional Standards

The office reviews and investigates all complaints, determining whether they have legitimacy or lack merit. Each year the complaints are reviewed and studied to identify any patterns of misconduct.
CALEA
The Griffin Police Department is only one of a few agencies in the United States that is both State Certified and Nationally Accredited.
The Commission of Accreditation for law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) was created in 1979 as an accrediting authority through the joint efforts of major law enforcement executive associations throughout the country. The purpose of CALEA is to improve the delivery of public safety service by maintaining a comprehensive body of law with approx. 484 standards, establishing and administering an accreditation process and recognizing professional excellence.
CALEA provides law enforcement agencies with an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with an established set of professional standards on a voluntary basis, and includes an external, objective evaluation of departmental operations.
CALEA awards are given to agencies who continue the quest for professional excellence every four years. The agency is required to maintain continuous compliance during the award period.
Griffin Police Department has been an accredited agency since 2003 and State Certified agency since 1999. To learn more about CALEA visit the website at CALEA.org or Youtube to see more about the accreditation.
CALEA Accreditation Public Comment Portal
*The purpose of this public comment 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 acknowledgment of submissions; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA® Accreditation.
