The University of Washington Police Department is participating in the CALEA Law Enforcement Accreditation process for its 6th reaccreditation. UWPD was first accredited by CALEA in 2005 and reaccredited in 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2021. We are now in the process of achieving our 6th reaccreditation in 2025. As a part of this process, we provide an opportunity for public feedback via the CALEA Portal which can be located here: http://cimrs2.calea.org/600

The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding our compliance with CALEA standards, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for reaccreditation status. These comments can be in the form of commendations or concerns. The overall intent of the accreditation process is to provide our agency with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster our pursuit of professional excellence.

It is important to know that 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.

Standard titles may be viewed on the CALEA website: Law Enforcement Standards Titles. UWPD is in the Tier I accreditation program which includes all 183 standards listed in bold.
For more information about the accreditation process, please contact the UWPD Accreditation Manager at 206-543-8469.
