LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service wants to hear from the community.

The LPS is scheduled for a site-based assessment as part of a program to receive accreditation by verifying it meets professional standards.

The program asks agencies to comply with “state-of-the-art” standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services. The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA)is administering the program.

As part of the process, agency employees and residents of the community are invited to offer their thoughts about the Lethbridge Police Service’s ability to comply with the above-listed standards for accreditation.

Residents can participate in a virtual public hearing scheduled for Monday, November 30 at 5:00 p.m.
