The Buckeye Police Department has secured its status as a model of law enforcement excellence, stepping once again into the spotlight as the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) hands them the proverbial badge of reaccreditation, a move that sets the standard not just locally but possibly further afield too. This particular commendation is not just for their law enforcement tactics but also extends to the realm of public safety communications, demonstrating the department's multifaceted capabilities. Buckeye officers took the floor in Florida last month, November 15 to be precise, and they laid out their case before the commission, a task that must have been as rigorous as it was critical. Their success, indeed, was unanimous, as reported by Buckeye, AZ.

Their third Law Enforcement Reaccreditation and second Communications Reaccreditation didn't come by chance, and it's every four years that this evaluation rolls around – a relentless cycle of assessments and appraisals, wherein training, recruitment, and public service must consistently align with the highest standard, a mandate that Buckeye police seem to be meeting with commendable persistence, according to a statement made by the Buckeye official website. More information on these rigorous standards and the accreditation process can be garnered from CALEA’s website.

"I'm proud of our team. We have the right people with the right attitude who continue to drive this agency forward," Chief Robert Sanders effused, his ambitions clear as he envisions this as a signal of the department's ongoing commitment, a beacon he hopes shines brightly, as mentioned in their news release. It's about helping people and meeting those elusive, ever-rising bars for excellence in public safety service. Buckeye PD's pedigree in this regard dates back to its first laurels in 2016 with law enforcement accreditation and then in 2019 when they added communications into their arsenal of recognized capabilities.
