Congratulations and thanks to the Accreditation Unit! And to members for their support in helping them maintain PGSO compliance!
Sheriff Maintaining CALEA Compliance, Yearly Web-Based Assessment Shows
The Sheriff’s assessment took place on Thursday May 23, 2019, during which the Compliance Service Members review Sheriff’s Policies and Procedures and the agency’s ongoing performance “proofs” as a measure of compliance with them
Upper Marlboro, MD… Recognizing its Planning Research and Development Division’s accreditation efforts, the Office of the Sheriff said the agency has been found to be compliant in the first yearly web-based standards review conducted by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The agency was first awarded CALEA Accreditation on March 24, 2018. Of the first yearly assessment, Sheriff High said, “While re-accreditation only occurs every four years, it is not assured and the work our Accreditation Unit does to prepare us for the yearly assessments is critical to our staying compliant with CALEA Standards as a prelude to re-accreditation.”
CALEA conducts remote web-based assessments yearly to help the agency assess whether it remains in compliance with the CALEA standards by which it is measured. During the years leading up to the re-accreditation year, a one-week assessment is conducted by three Compliance Service Members, all of whom are nationally recognized senior law enforcement officers from around the nation.
The Sheriff’s assessment took place on Thursday May 23, 2019, during which the Compliance Service Members review Sheriff’s Policies and Procedures and the agency’s ongoing performance “proofs” as a measure of compliance with them
During the assessment, Compliance Service Members reviewed 103 of the Sheriff’s 170 standards, including Use-of-force, traffic warnings/citations, grievances, complaints, internal affairs and biased policing. They concluded that the agency is currently in compliance on the standards reviewed and no policy issues were found.

She is self-motivated and always looking for ways to educate and improve herself. Corporal Gay has a master’s degree, but she recently decided to go back to school to get a second master’s degree in Clinical Social Work, in order to professionally assist law enforcement officers with the serious issues of suicide, alcoholism, depression etc., that they encounter and grapple with each day.”
