WHAT:            Accreditation Public Comment Portal

WHERE:          http://cimrs2.calea.org/183

WHEN:            Assessment October 23, 2023, through October 27, 2023 

EL PASO, TX - The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office is proud to announce our continued participation in the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) process.  As part of the assessment, the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office would like to extend an invitation to citizens and other Law Enforcement Agencies to provide feedback on a Public Comment Portal.

The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding our 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 Public Comment Portal is to provide the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office with information to support continuous improvement, as well as foster the pursuit of professional excellence.

CALEA is not an investigatory body and subsequently the public portal should not be used to submit information for such purpose. Additionally, there will be no response other than acknowledgement to submission; however, the information will be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the tenets of CALEA Accreditation.
