Colonel Brandon Solberg would like to announce a team from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., (CALEA) will be conducting an assessment of the North Dakota Highway Patrol from Feb. 28-March 2, to examine the department’s policies, procedures, management, operations, and support services. Due to precautions surrounding COVID-19, this site-based assessment will be conducted virtually.
Verification by the assessment team means the North Dakota Highway Patrol meets the CALEA commission’s standards of professionalism. Being accredited is a voluntary process, but it is a valued recognition of the highway patrol’s level of professional excellence.
As part of the site-based assessment, agency employees and members of the public are invited to offer comments during a call-in session on Tuesday, March 1, from 9-11 a.m. by calling 701-805-8059 or 701-805-8157.
The public may also make comments during a public information session that will take place at the Law Enforcement Training Academy, 1320 Schafer St., Bismarck on Tuesday, March 1, at 4:30 p.m.
