Public Safety Accreditation

The Department of Public Safety at Monroe Community College is proud to be the first community college agency in the country to achieve accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) Campus Security Accreditation Program. CALEA is recognized as the “Gold Standard of Public Safety”.

The Department of Public Safety at Monroe Community College was awarded accredited status by CALEA, within their Campus Security Accreditation Program, in the fall of 2020. This program focuses on the safety and security of students, faculty, staff and visitors to the campus.
The accreditation process involves the independent, external review and recognition of an organization’s ability to adhere to an established set of standards or best practices. To prove compliance, the agency must author and adapt written policies that conform to the standards. Reports or documents used to detail related functions must also comply with standard language. Onsite assessors visit the agency at regular intervals and audits of compliance are conducted annually.
