Professional Standards Division

The Professional Standards Division is the entity within the police department that helps to ensure the quality of the services being offered to our citizens. This entity contains the Internal Affairs Unit, Staff Inspections Unit, Accreditation and Training. The Department is in the process of moving towards CALEA Accreditation (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies) and hopes to have this process completed by early 2012.

Internal Affairs Unit

The Internal Affairs Unit is responsible for overseeing investigations into police department staff conduct. Some complaints are generated by citizens, but more are generated internally, as part of our stringent review processes. The below table represents all investigations conducted for calendar year 2010.
