MISSION STATEMENT

The California Police Accreditation Coalition (CALPAC) recognizes and supports the concept of accreditation for law enforcement agencies as a means to enhance the quality of law enforcement, communications, training academy, and campus security services delivered within the State of California, and the communities of member agencies. To this end, CALPAC provides an informational network for member agencies seeking or maintaining any program established by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc (CALEA).

Since its inception, CALPAC has met quarterly to serve as an informational network for member agencies and has facilitated training and the sharing of resources.
