HCPD earns CALEA reaccreditation

Posted on: March 28, 2018

By KRISSI HUMBARD — The Hyattsville City Police Department (HCPD) was recommended in November for recertification by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA), according to Lt. Chris Purvis, public information officer.

Last week, HCPD leaders Chief Douglas Holland, Captain Amal Awad and Sergeant Patrick O’Hagan were in Frisco, Texas, to complete the final step of international reaccreditation through CALEA, according to the police department. The department passed!

In November of 2017, an assessment team was on site at the police department for the recertification inspection. “When they come on site, they do an inspection of all of our records and police cars, they interview officers, and they verify that we’ve met the standards they’ve set,” Purvis said.
