The Herndon Police Department has been accredited by CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) in the law enforcement accreditation program since 1986. The accreditation program promotes continuous improvement for the department and fosters the pursuit of professional excellence.

As a part of the program’s process, we provide an opportunity for public feedback via the CALEA Public Comment Portal each year at https://cimrs2.calea.org/386. The purpose of this public portal is to receive comments regarding the department’s compliance with CALEA standards, and any perspectives on community engagement, delivery of public safety services, or other comments, whether compliments or concerns. 

It is important to know that CALEA is not an investigatory body, and the public portal should not be used to submit complaints needing internal investigation. You will not receive a response regarding your submission other than an acknowledgment of receipt. The information submitted will only be considered in context to its relevancy to compliance with standards and the practices of CALEA accreditation.
