A team of accreditation assessors will be visiting later this month to review the Lafayette Parish Communication District for possible accreditation.
The team, from the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., will arrive June 23, 2019 to examine all aspects of the Lafayette Parish Communication District’s policy and procedures, management, operations, and support services, said Craig Stansbury, Director of the Lafayette Parish Communication District.
Verification by the team that the Lafayette Parish Communication District meets the Commission’s state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to gain accreditation – a highly prized recognition of public safety professional excellence.
