UH Manoa Department of Public Safety is scheduled for a site-based assessment as part of a program to achieve accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards.

Administered by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA®), the accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services.

As part of the assessment, students, employees, and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session on Tuesday, December 11 at 2:00 p.m. The session will be conducted at Hemenway Hall 211, located at 2445 Campus Road (Room 211), Honolulu, HI 96822.

UH Manoa students, employees, and the public are also invited to offer comments by calling (808) 956-4361 on Tuesday, December 11 between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Comments will be taken by the Assessment Team.

Telephone comments as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency’s ability to comply with CALEA standards. A copy of the Standards is available at UH Manoa Department of Public Safety, 1951 East-West Road, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96822. Local contact is Daniel Tuttle: (808) 956-9802.
