How's The Farmington PD Doing? Let The Department Know

Town of Farmington

FARMINGTON, CT — The local community now has the opportunity to weigh in on the job they think the Farmington Police Department is doing.

CALEA (Commission for the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies) has created a specific public comment portal for each of its accredited agencies.

The goal is to facilitate community engagement for the agency and evaluate its delivery of public safety services and overall accredited status.

Citizens can post their name and phone number or offer input anonymously.

"The portal is not designed as an investigative tool and should not be used for that purpose," wrote CALEA in an announcement posted by Farmington officials.

"CALEA will not respond to the feedback, other than to confirm submission, however, the feedback will provide context as part of the re-accreditation process."

The Farmington Police Department was initially accredited in 1992 and has maintained continuous accreditation for the past 30 years.

The department voluntarily opens its operating procedures, general orders, and personnel to external review to ensure the department is meeting internationally recognized standards.

The department welcomes community engagement and feedback regarding its service to continuously evaluate its operations.
