UAPD Seeks Accreditation through The Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police
July 23, 2019
The University of Arizona Police Department (UAPD) is seeking accreditation through the Arizona Association of Chiefs of Police (AACOP) Arizona Law Enforcement Accreditation Program (ALEAP). Accreditation is a progressive and time-proven method of assisting law enforcement agencies in measuring and improving their overall performance. ALEAP is intended to provide law enforcement agencies in the state with an avenue for demonstrating that they meet commonly accepted best practices and industry standards for efficient, effective, productive and quality operations.
A team of assessors will be conducting an on-site assessment of UAPD’s compliance with the ALEAP standards as part of the voluntary process to achieve ALEAP accreditation. As part of the on-site assessment, members of the community and agency employees are invited to offer comments regarding UAPD during a Public Call-In Session, on Tuesday July 30, 2019 between the hours of 1:00 pm and 2:00 pm. Calls can be made to 520-626-1651. Calls will not be recorded and callers will speak directly with ALEAP assessors. Comments should be limited to five (5) minutes and address the agency’s ability to comply with ALEAP standards.
A copy of the standards is available for review at:
University of Arizona Police Department
1852 E First Street,
Tucson, Arizona
Questions may be directed to the department accreditation manager, Paula Dorer.
