About the Service CALEA Accreditation

The Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) is proud to be one of a select few police agencies in Canada to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).

CALEA’s accreditation program helps police agencies across North America improve the delivery of law enforcement service by offering a body of standards, developed by law enforcement practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date law enforcement topics.

CALEA recognizes professional achievements by offering an orderly process for addressing and complying with applicable standards. The WPS complies with approximately 177 standards to maintain its accreditation.
