Centreville, Maryland (August 5, 2024) Site-based assessor(s) from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®), will arrive on August 12, 2024, to examine all aspects of the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff’s policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services.
Verification by the assessor(s) that the Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff meets the Commission’s comprehensive state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation — a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence. As part of the assessment, agency personnel and members of the community are invited to offer comments via a public access portal located at: http://cimrs2.calea.org/410
If for some reason an individual cannot access the portal but would like to provide comments to the assessment team, he/she may do so by writing to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, Inc. (CALEA®), 13575 Heathcote Boulevard, Suite 320 Gainesville, Virginia, 20155, or email [email protected].
A copy of the standards is available by contacting the Queen Anne’s County Office of the
Sheriff’s CALEA Accreditation Coordinator, Eric Wilson, at 410-758-0770, ext. 1923.
The Queen Anne’s County Office of the Sheriff must comply with 184 standards in order to gain accredited status. Sheriff Gary Hofmann added, “Achieving CALEA accreditation is a testament to our commitment to excellence in law enforcement. It demonstrates our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism, accountability, and service to our community. This accreditation not only enhances our operations but also strengthens public trust and confidence in our office.”
