In our efforts to remain cutting edge in how we police and operate the Gladstone Police Department, a commitment was made to earn agency accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA). The process to earn accreditation involved standardization of policies, ensuring best practices, and on ongoing review of how the agency operates.
