The Wheeling Police Department was awarded national accreditation this month by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies.

CALEA President Richard Myers and Executive Director Craig Hartley awarded the Wheeling Police Department with accreditation, signifying excellence in public safety and commitment to community. This is the Wheeling Police Department's ninth receipt of national accreditation.

"This award of accreditation does not come easy," said Myers, chief of the Newport News Police Department. "Agencies must go through a rigorous review and evaluation of their organization and then implement the necessary policy and procedure changes. The process does not stop at that point. By voluntarily choosing to seek CALEA accreditation, the Wheeling Police Department commits to an ongoing review of adherence to CALEA standards."
