Perhaps only county in USA to be fully certified across inter-agency departments

The Hamilton County 911 Communications Team recently completed the process for the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

The milestone was celebrated during the CALEA Conference from Nov. 13 to 16, marking Hamilton County as one of very few, if not the only, county in the nation to have all its municipal police departments, Sheriff’s Office, and 911 Center nationally accredited. The rigorous process includes comprehensive evaluations, adherence to best practices, and a commitment to continuous improvement.

“Achieving CALEA accreditation is no small feat,” 911 Director Mike Hubbs said. “The process requires extensive preparation, dedication, and teamwork. We faced numerous challenges, but our team worked tirelessly to meet the stringent standards set forth by CALEA. It is a true testament to our commitment to excellence in public safety.”

Hamilton County Commissioner Christine Altman expressed her pride in the achievement, saying, “I am incredibly proud of the work our agencies have put into earning this accreditation. It speaks volumes about our dedication to providing the best possible service to our community. Holding ourselves to such high standards ensures that we are always prepared to respond to emergencies effectively.”

It took Hamilton County 911 Communications two years to complete the CALEA accreditation process.
