Vanderbilt University’s police department will ask for feedback from the community members they serve at a public forum 6 p.m. Monday, July 13.
Members of the Vanderbilt and Nashville communities, as well as employees of the Vanderbilt Police Department, are invited to attend the forum in Room 1A at Vanderbilt Police headquarters located at 111 28th Ave. S. – behind the Verizon Wireless store that was formerly “You Greek, Me Greek.”
The Vanderbilt Police Department is seeking international accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA). An on-site assessment team from CALEA will be at Vanderbilt on July 13 and feedback provided at the forum will be considered as part of group’s assessment of Vanderbilt.
CALEA’s accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-profession standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations and support services.
Those who cannot attend the forum may also offer feedback in the following ways:
- Contact CALEA’s on-site assessment team by phone at (615) 438-9025 or (615) 484-9773 on Monday, July 13, from 1 to 4 p.m.
- Contact Vanderbilt Police Captain David Bohler at (615) 322-8954.
- Submit written comments to the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA), at 10302 Eaton Place, Suite 100, Fairfax, Virginia, 22030-2215 or call (800) 368-3757 or (703) 352-4225.
Community comments offered by phone or during the public information session will be limited to 10 minutes and must address the Vanderbilt Police Department’s ability to comply with CALEA standards.
