ABOUT US

CRLEAA is a nonprofit alliance of law enforcement professionals who support and mentor law enforcement agencies in our service area to achieve and maintain accreditation with the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).​

We have over 50 member agencies representing Municipal, County, State, College, and University Police Departments, Sheriff's Offices, Training Academies, and Emergency Communications Centers in Maryland, Northern Virginia, District of Columbia, Eastern West Virginia, and Delaware, and the Federal Government.

CRLEAA is managed by a Board of Directors and conduct quarterly meetings every year. Our members come from diverse backgrounds and represent decades of law enforcement and accreditation experience, to include sworn and non-sworn positions, directors, law enforcement executives and command staff, CALEA assessors, PowerDMS Certified Professionals, and more.  Because of this, we are able to assist new agencies exploring accreditation or those in self-assessment.
