Accreditation Assessment Team Invites Public Comment On Highway Patrol

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is looking for your feedback on the job they are doing.

Missouri State Highway Patrol superintendent Colonel Eric T. Olson announced Monday assessor from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc., will arrive on August 7, to examine all aspects of the Patrol’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services.

As part of the on-site assessment, the Patrol is seeking your feedback regarding its services and performance. The public is invited to visit the Patrol’s website to register a comment. On the Patrol’s website, choose the Show-Me Accountability Portal to access a link located under the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc. icon. The link provides a comment form for feedback regarding the CALEA standards.

You can also access the comment portal through the Patrol’s social media accounts.

The assessor will review written materials, interview individuals, and visit Patrol facilities and other locations where compliance can be witnessed.

The assessor will ultimately report back to the Commission after completing their review. The Commission will then decide whether the Missouri Highway Patrol is to be granted continued accredited status, which they have enjoyed since 1992.

Accreditation is for four years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting continued compliance with those standards under which they were accredited.
