MANSFIELD — The Mansfield Police Division is scheduled for a virtual on-site assessment as part of a program to retain accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards.
Administered by the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four basic areas; policy and procedures, administration, operations and support services.
As a part of the virtual on-site assessment, agency employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session, Tuesday, April 5 at 4 p.m. The virtual session will be conducted in Council Chambers of the Mansfield Municipal Building, 30 North Diamond Street, Mansfield, Ohio.

Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA’s standards.
