Lake County Sheriff To Be Assessed: You Can Help

WAUKEGAN, IL — The Lake County Sheriff's Office is scheduled to be assessed on how well it matches professional standards, according to a press release from the office. They aim to show inspectors that they meet "internationally recognized professional standards."

The Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) is the inspecting authority, and will check the sheriff's office on its policies and procedures, administration, operations and support services, the press release said.

The sheriff's office noted that, as a part of the assessment, employees of the office and the public are invited to offer comments on March 12 at 5 p.m at the Libertyville Civic Center at 135 West Church St. in Libetyville.

If you can't make the March 12 meeting, you can call the assessment team at 847-377-4167 on Monday, March 12 between 1 and 3 p.m. All comments, on phone and at the meeting, are limited to 10 minutes and must address the sheriff's office's compliance with CALEA standards, the sheriff's office said on their Facebook page.

If you want to submit a written statement on the sheriff's office's compliance with CALEA standards, you can email calea@calea.org send a written letter to:
