-Press Release, Henderson Police Department

As a law enforcement agency holding Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation since 2002, the Henderson Police Department takes great pride in serving its community. Every four (4) years we host Assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) to perform reviews of the agency’s operations, policies and adherence to the professional standards of CALEA.

For this four-year cycle, the Henderson Police Department’s CALEA Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation “site-based” assessment is scheduled for December 7 through December 9, 2020. As part of the assessment, the Henderson Police Department invites members of the public to offer comments by calling (252) 425-0974 on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, between 1 and 3 p.m. The Assessment Team will be taking telephone comments during these hours.

In addition, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the agency will host a virtual public hearing for comments on Tuesday, December 8, 2020, at 5:30 p.m. Link to the virtual hearing is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85927805910

Telephone and Public Hearing comments are limited to five minutes and must address the ability of the Henderson Police Department to comply with CALEA’s standards. If the public has questions regarding the specific standards or standard topics, they may contact Accreditation Manager, Lieutenant Steve Gresham at (252) 430-3145 or via email at sgresham@hendersonncpd.org.

Written comments regarding the Henderson Police Department’s ability to comply with the standards for reaccreditation may be sent to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement, Inc. (CALEA), 13757 Heathcote Boulevard, Suite 320, Gainesville, Virginia 20155 or may be emailed to CALEA at calea@calea.org.
