The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) issued the Miami Police Department (MPD) the Advanced Law Enforcement accreditation, the Public Safety Communications accreditation, and the Public Safety Training Academy
accreditation certifications after completing on-site re-accreditation inspections for all 3 disciplines. Having all 3 of these accreditations makes the Miami Police Department 1 of only 2 in the State of Florida to be called a CALEA Tri-Arc
Award agency. The award was created to recognize entities that concurrently hold all three CALEA Accreditation Awards: Law Enforcement, Public Safety Communications, and Public Safety Training Academy.
The Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation focuses on standards that provide best practices related to life, health, and safety procedures for the agency. The Advanced Law Enforcement Program is specifically designed for elite organizations
striving to demonstrate professional excellence within a comprehensive range of operational and administrative functional responsibilities.
The program provides the framework for addressing high risk issues within a contemporary environment, and ensures officers are prepared to meet basic community service expectations and prepared to manage critical events. Agencies participating in
this program are prepared for the management of life, health and safety issues, ensuring issues ranging from community engagement to sound personnel practices are addressed.
Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation results in a highly performing organization with the capacity to address any operational or administrative challenges, and serve as an industry leader.
The Public Safety Communications Accreditation provides a communications center, of a public safety agency, with a process to systemically review and internally assess its operations and procedures.
This program requires organizations to collect and analyze important data for the purpose of making sound operational and administrative business decisions, creating leadership and practitioner-accountability.
In addition, the focus is on quality assurance, interoperability, emerging technologies, risk analysis, asset security, resources access, contemporary training, and a range of other operational functions.
The Public Safety Training Academy Accreditation is designed to provide administrative and operational support to contemporary organizations with the responsibility for training public safety officials.
The program focuses on basic as well as advanced curriculums, with the emphasis on sound instructional techniques, facilities management, student safety, records integrity, and a host of other issues that promote
the professional delivery of training within the public safety industry.
This results in the clear identification of training institutions that set the standards for others to follow.
