C.A.L.E.A. Inspection

Two mock inspections were held to ascertain departmental preparation for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (C.A.L.E.A.) inspection which occurred in December 2006. Commissioners reviewed 439 standards and found only three files which required minor maintenance. In addition, the Franklin Police Department was awarded "Flagship Agency" status as a result of the inspection. This honor was shared by only 8 departments in the country. Staff training continued in 2007 in cooperation with C.A.L.E.A. and other accredited agencies in Tennessee. The Professional Standards staff anticipate a complete review of Departmental General Orders as both new and modified C.A.L.E.A. standards are put into effect.
