Recently, the Woodstock Police Department (WPD) received its accreditation from CALEA (Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies). This achievement demonstrates the departments commitment to professional excellence in policy and practice.

This process involved meeting or exceeding 177 standards, the culmination of self-evaluations, and was concluded by a review from independent assessors as well as a review by CALEAs commissioners.

The WPD joins with just 20% of law enforcement agencies its size in the nation in receiving this distinguished honor. Further, the WPD is among the just 5% of law enforcement agencies in the State of Georgia that are both State Certified and nationally accredited law enforcement agencies.
