NORWALK, CT — Site-based assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. will arrive Sunday to examine all aspects of the Norwalk Police Department’s policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services.
Chief James Walsh announced the assessment team will verify that Norwalk meets the commission’s comprehensive standards as part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation.
Agency personnel and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public access portal posted at https://cimrs2.calea.org/755.
