The Scottsdale Police Department is inviting community members to provide comments and feedback as they enter the Year 1 re-accreditation review with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement (CALEA). To achieve accredited status, the Scottsdale Police Department must comply with 462 standards. Accreditation is valid for four years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to its continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited. The department has been a CALEA-accredited agency since 1994. More information is available on our website. 

Anyone wishing to offer written comments and feedback about the Scottsdale Police Department's ability to comply with the standards for accreditation, engagement in the service community, delivery of public safety services, and overall candidacy for accredited status is requested to submit comments and feedback via this link.

A compliance service member from CALEA will begin a file review on Friday, October 25, 2024, to examine all aspects of the Scottsdale Police Department’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.
