This week, the Commission of Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. will send a team to assess the Gainesville Police Department, evaluating them for national re-accreditation. The accreditation agency will spend the week assessing the department, looking at various aspects from on-duty officers to community relations to policies and procedures. The process, according to the police department’s spokesman Cpl. Kevin Holbrook, is fairly new and more involved than past re-accreditations.
