1998 ANNUAL REPORT

INTRODUCTION

The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) completed its nineteenth year of service in 1998. It was a highly productive year, marked with several significant milestones. The Commission is pleased to present a summary of significant activities and accomplishments in this 1998 Annual Report.

HISTORY

The Commission was founded in 1979 through the combined efforts of the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Sheriffs’ Association (NSA) and Police Executive Research Forum (PERF). CALEA is a private, nonprofit, tax-exempt (501 [c] 3) corporation, and is not part of any governmental entity. Twenty-one Commissioners, 11 law enforcement professionals and 10 representatives from the public and private sector, form the Board of Directors. The Commission employs a 14-member professional staff administered by an Executive Director.

MISSION

The Commission’s overall mission is to improve the delivery of law enforcement services, primarily through a voluntary, law enforcement agency accreditation program, organized and maintained in the public interest.

Commissioners Twenty-one Commissioners govern CALEA. The four, founding organizations play a role in appointing individuals to the Commission. Selections ensure size, experiential and geographical representation at

all levels of local, state and provincial law enforcement throughout North America.

Commissioners serve a three-year term on the Commission and may be reappointed twice. They service without compensation, except for travel and accommodation reimbursements.

Internally, the Commission elects a Board of Officers for the coming year at each November meeting. The 1998 Board of Officers were: Chief (R) Sylvester Daughtry, Jr. (President), Chief William D. Miller (Vice President), Chief Stephen R. Monier (Secretary), Chief Robert E. Deu Pree (Treasurer), and Chief Ronald D. Nelson (Immediate Past President).

The 1999 Officers will be: Chief William D. Miller (President), Chief (R) Stephen R. Monier (Vice President), Sheriff John Cary Bittick III (Secretary), and Mr. Henry I. DeGeneste (Treasurer). The Immediate Past President seat is vacant.

At year’s end, Commissioners John Cary Bittick III, Robert E. Deu Pree, Stephen R. Monier and Elaine M. O’Neal, were reappointed for the 1999-2001 term. Chief Patrick Oliver, Grandview Heights, Ohio, Chief John LaFlamme, Lethbridge, Alberta, and Director Tim Moore, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, were appointed for the same term to replace retiring Commissioners Sylvester Daughtry, Jr., Ronald D. Nelson and Ronald T. Wood. Staff The Commission maintains a 14-member professional staff, under the direction of an Executive Director, to conduct all activities associated with its accreditation program. CALEA also outsources supplemental service from a variety of individuals and companies. Staff operations remained constant in 1998. A new Program Manager, Ms. Margaret "Peg" Gant, joined the staff in July and a new Administrative Assistant position was approved and advertised. CALEA contracted for the services of a part-time Legislative Analyst to expand the Commission’s visibility in the federal arena.

A fully automated headquarters office facility is maintained at 10306 Eaton Place, Suite 320, Fairfax, Virginia 22030. CALEA signed a second 5-year lease and renovated this space during 1998. Telephone (800-368-3757), voice mail, e-mail (calea@calea.org) and fax (703-591-2206) technology are maintained for communication options.

In 1998, the staff successfully submitted its office operations to the discipline of the "CALEA standards and process" and was awarded a certificate of Administrative Office Certification. The staff is presently maintaining its compliance with applicable standards. Program Manager Ted LeMay serves as the certification manager and will submit a second annual report in early 1999.

In July 1998, Richard F. Kitterman, Jr. informed the Commission of his intention to retire at the end of the year. Mr. Kitterman was hired to conduct all field operations for the then-new Commission in 1983, as they emerged from four years of development. He was later selected to be the Commission’s fourth Executive Director in 1994.

The Commission chose Sylvester Daughtry, Jr. to be the next Executive Director beginning in 1999. Mr. Daughtry completed his tenure as a Commissioner with CALEA in 1998. Mr. Daughtry retired

from his position as Chief of Police for the Greensboro (NC) Police Department, an accredited agency, in 1998. He was active with the International Association of Chiefs of Police and served as IACP President in the 1993-1994 term. Mr. Daughtry was appointed to the Commission in 1990 and served as Chairman from 1996 to 1998. Assessors Assessors are the backbone of the accreditation program. They provide the Commission with its "eyes & ears" on-site. The minimum qualifications ask that the individual be a law enforcement practitioner with at least five years of administrative/supervisory experience. Assessor training is mandatory for all volunteers prior to selection for an assessment. Experienced assessors are expected to attend periodic refresher training to maintain their skills.

The Assessor Manual is one of CALEA’s publications and describes the duties and responsibilities of assessors during assessments. New manuals are issued at training sessions or at the time of selection for an on-site assignment.

Information from a trained assessor’s application is stored in a CALEA database for easy retrieval. When on-site teams are being selected, the type and size of an agency are frequently used to match assessors with candidate agencies. Experience is also considered.

In 1998, 119 assessments were conducted at agencies that were seeking reaccreditation, initial accreditation recertification or certification. Three hundred and forty-five assessors were selected from a pool of over 430 qualified practitioners from all parts of the United States, Canada and Barbados. Each assessor took a leave of absence from his/her agency, contracted with the Commission to conduct an average five-day assessment on location at an assigned candidate agency, usually as a member of a three-person team. The Commission provides expenses and an honorarium. The team’s report of findings is the basis for Commissioner inquiry at the agency’s hearing, usually at the next scheduled Commission meeting following a successful assessment. Public-Safety Communications Accreditation Program (PSCAP) During 1998, CALEA completed development and approved a new accreditation program for public safety communications agencies. The program is a joint venture with APCO (The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials-International) that began in 1996. APCO contributed communications leadership, technical expertise, a pool of highly qualified and experienced communications executives to develop standards, and a source of program on-site assessors. CALEA was the source of accreditation expertise with a developed accreditation process, a base of administrative and communications standards, and the independent neutral body to administer the program.

The goals of the Public Safety Communications Accreditation Program are to (1) promote superior public safety communications services, (2) recognize professional excellence, and (3) not conflict with technical standards established by competent authorities.

A standards manual (Public Safety Communications Standards) containing 214 standards has been published. The process mirrors the law enforcement accreditation™ program with five general phases:

application, self-assessment, on-site assessment, commission review, and maintaining compliance and reaccreditation. A Windows based software program (CASAP) is available to assist participating agencies in completing the process. The program’s new logo is displayed on the front cover of this report with the law enforcement program logo. Law Enforcement Functional Component Certification CALEA offers six functional component "certification" programs: Communications, Court Security, Evidence/Property Room, Internal Affairs, Office Administration and Training. The standards used for certification are extracted from the law enforcement standards manual. Selected administrative and personnel "core" standards affecting each functional component supplement the specific operational standards for each functional component. The program is designed to recognize professional excellence in an individual agency’s components until the organization completes agency-wide accreditation. The certification program also appeals to stand-alone organizations that provide these functional services. Police Accreditation Coalitions (PAC) A significant milestone in the accreditation program’s history has been the development of Police Accreditation Coalitions (PACs). Presently, there are thirty state and/or regional PACs in the United States and Canada. Organization within these groups range from informal to highly organized, yet they all provide an extremely useful resource, for not only the participating members, but for the Commission as well. Working cooperatively, their existence adds a new and diverse source for information, advocacy, assistance and networking that is generally available with just a simple request. One of their most notable services is the delivery of "mock" assessments. These reviews serve as a dress rehearsal to the actual assessment by the Commission’s assessors and are frequently credited as essential for a successful on-site assessment. Standards Review The Commission’s principal publication is the Standards for Law Enforcement Agencies (SLEA). This manual is ever changing. The original (944) standards were developed between 1979 - 1983 from the combined wisdom of that era, built upon the existing work of earlier standard setting bodies. A 2nd Edition (897 standards) in 1987, made adjustments after five years of operational experience. Later, in response to serious user concerns about the program, CALEA appointed a Review Task Force, comprised primarily of a cross-section of user practitioners, to thoroughly examine everything. Their work resulted in a 3rd Edition (436 standards), approved in 1994. These modifications were overwhelming received by agencies everywhere.

To ensure the standards’ relevance and timeliness to contemporary needs of the law enforcement profession, the Commission proactively appointed a similar Review Task Force in 1998. The approved changes in July 1998 were published in a 4th Edition (439 standards) of the Standards for Law Enforcement Agencies. The 4th Edition Standards Manual became effective on January 1, 1999. A Transition Policy was approved to facilitate the changeover by participating agencies.

The future review of standards is anticipated to occur at regular intervals, approximately every four years, similar to the Commission’s three-year reassessment of agencies.

Publications The primary publication of the Commission is the Standards for Law Enforcement Agencies (SLEA), 4th Edition.

The Commission’s other law enforcement related publications are: the Accreditation Program Book (APB), the Self-Assessment Manual (SAM), the Assessor Manual (AM), and the Accreditation Program Overview (APO).

The primary publication for the CALEA/APCO joint venture accreditation program is the Standards for Public Safety Communications (SPSC).

The Commission offers two Windows® software programs: Agency Self-assessment Automated Program (ASAP) for law enforcement accreditation™ and Communications Agency Self-assessment Automated Program (CASAP) for communications accreditation.

ADMINISTRATION Marketing and Outreach The Commission continued to focus on increasing its marketing and outreach efforts throughout the year. Traditional activities included working cooperatively with our four founding organizations and a variety of public- and private-sector associations, which interface with law enforcement, known collectively as the "Advisory Groups." Increased exhibiting at major conferences, presenting speeches, workshops or training sessions, attending local PAC meetings and presenting the accreditation certificate at local award ceremonies, was a significant activity of commissioners, staff and local representatives throughout the year.

CALEA initiated a new, "continuous participation" contract for both accreditation programs. The new contract will alleviate the necessity to re-contract before starting each assessment/award period. After the initial award, agencies will pay a small "continuation fee" with the submission of each annual report. The fee will include the Commission’s administrative fee and a third of the next assessment fee. The annual fee is paid for as long as the agency desires to participate and includes a penalty-free, no fault drop out clause. The contract is in use for all new agencies and will be phased in with participating agencies at the time of their next regularly scheduled contract or when requested.

Three issues of the newsletter (The CALEA Update) were published in February, May, and September. This periodical continues to grow in appeal with many new features, articles and photos.

The Commission web-site provides wider exposure and useful information about the Commission, its program, activities, meetings, and products. The web-address is www.calea.org.

During the year, the Commission formed a State Accreditation Programs Committee (SAPC). Its purpose is to explore areas of commonality and strategies for cooperative networking among evolving state or regional accreditation programs. The SAPC hopes to nurture partnerships that capture the best of all programs and expand any organization’s ability to achieve recognition at each level. The goals

and benefits of most programs are mutually designed to improve law enforcement quality, establish a set of core-standards for the profession and provide low cost accreditation opportunities to as many agencies as possible, regardless of their size. Since clientele is shared, it makes sense to provide participants with the benefits each program has to offer.

Two events this year delivered favorable exposure to the accreditation program. The first was an exclusive interview of Commission President, Sylvester Daughtry, Jr., by Law Enforcement News, a national, law enforcement, subscription newspaper published at John Jay College in New York. The printed interview appeared in their June issue. The second was an unsolicited report on accreditation of (law enforcement) agencies by the Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA) in Illinois. Their April study report announced findings of "quantitative evidence" on the benefit of accreditation. The report concluded, "In sum, we believe that Accreditation affords the opportunity to more effectively manage an organization (regardless of the business). Effective management results in effective risk management!" Finances Each year, the Commission requests a thorough review of its finances by an independent auditor. Again in 1998, the Millard T. Charlton & Associates, Chartered Certified Public Accountants firm was selected. Portions of their audit report are presented in the next section and reveals solid financial progress and management during 1998. The Commission made significant improvements to its positive fund balance during 1998.

(1) NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Commission's overall purpose is to improve the delivery of law enforcement services, primarily through a law enforcement agency accreditation program, organized and maintained in the public interest serving the United States and Canada. The Commission's specific purposes include:

• to establish and maintain standards for the operation of law enforcement agencies;

• to administer an accreditation process that encourages applicant agencies to comply with applicable standards;

• to conduct an on-site assessment of the agency's compliance with applicable standards and to recognize compliance with standards by issuance of a certificate of accreditation;

• to conduct education, training, and research programs and to publish the results thereof;

• to develop and maintain relationships with national, regional, state, and local associations and agencies in the criminal justice and related fields.

Financial Statement Presentation

The financial statements of the Commission have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The Commission is a non-profit organization which follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 117, Financial Statements of Not-for-Profit Organizations. Under SFAS No. 117, the Commission is required to report information regarding its financial position and activities according to three classes of net assets: unrestricted net assets, temporarily restricted net assets, and permanently restricted net assets. At this time, the Commission does not have either temporarily or permanently restricted net assets.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following significant accounting policies are described to enhance the usefulness of the financial statements to the reader. Revenue Recognition

Accreditation and Reaccreditation fees are recognized as income as they are earned by the Commission. Accreditation fees are amortized on a straight-line basis over 22 months from the date of the contract. Should the accreditation process require less time, the unamortized balance of the accreditation fee will be recognized as revenue at the date the on-site assessment is scheduled. The Commission may grant a 12-month extension of the accreditation process and fees related to extensions are amortized to income on a straight line basis over 12 months from the date of the extension agreement. Reaccreditation fees are recognized on a straight line basis over 60 months or 36 months (based upon contract duration) from the date of the Commission's acceptance of a successful on-site assessment. Should an agency withdraw from the accreditation/ reaccreditation process, any remaining deferred revenue for accreditation, reaccreditation or extension fees would be recognized as income. Fees received in advance for on-site assessments are recognized as income when the assessment occurs.

Expense Allocation

Expenses are charged to programs and supporting services on the basis of periodic time and expense studies. Management and general expenses include those expenses which are not directly associated with any other specific function but provide for the overall support and direction of the Commission.

Investments

Equity investments with readily determinable fair values and all investments in debt securities are reported at fair value, with gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, included in the statement of activities.

Depreciation and Amortization Furniture and equipment is recorded at cost. Acquisitions with an expected life of more than one year and a cost in excess of $50 are capitalized. All property and equipment is depreciated using the straight- line method over a life of 5 to 10 years. Cash and Equivalents

Cash and equivalents include cash in banks, the Calvert Insured Plus Money Market Fund and the Merrill Lynch Working Capital Management Account. Other Matters The Commission is a tax-exempt organization under IRC Section 501(c)(3) and is classified by the Internal Revenue Service as other than a private foundation. The Commission has not incurred any tax on unrelated business income.

Inventory is stated at lower of cost, determined by the first-in first-out method, or market value.

(2) CASH AND EQUIVALENTS Cash on hand at December 31, 1998 is as follows: Crestar Checking $103,645 Calvert Insured Funds 253,950 Merrill Lynch WCMA 515,466 Total $873,061 During the course of the year, substantially all of the balances of these accounts were within Federally insured limits.

(3) MARKETABLE SECURITIES Marketable securities are as follows: Market Value Mutual Funds $ 635,601 Bonds and Notes 257,341 Money Market Funds 47,309 Totals $ 940,251 Market values are based upon quoted market prices for those or similar investments. Investment return is comprised of the following: Interest and Dividends $ 71,484 Unrealized Gain 63,870 Realized Loss (9,323) Investment Expenses (2,581) Total $123,450 (4) INVENTORY Inventory is comprised of the following: Publications $ 32,596 Emblem Items 21,895 Wearables 12,660

Total $ 67,151 (5) Property and Equipment Property and Equipment consist of the following: Accumulated Book Cost Depreciation Value Furniture and Equipment $257,837 $123,944 $133,893

Leasehold Improvements 9,460 1,734 7,726

Total $267,297 $125,678 $141,619 (6) RETIREMENT PLAN

The Commission maintains a defined contribution retirement plan in the form of a 403(b) annuity for all full time staff. Contributions are 15% of employee's base pay starting the first full month after employment. Employees are fully vested in the plan after one year of service. The plan does permit additional voluntary contributions by the employee. The expense incurred by the Commission for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $79,783.

(7) LEASE COMMITMENTS The Commission entered into a lease for office space in January, 1998. The agreement calls for base year rent of $101,458 escalating by 3% annually over the five year term (1998-2003). Also, the Commission pays increases in annual operating expense over the base year attributable to their area. The Commission also leases photocopy equipment and a postage machine. The minimum future lease commitments are as follows:

1999 114,583 2000 115,820 2001 119,042 2002 121,722 2003 13,391 Total $ 484,558

Rent expense for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $109,319. (8) EMPLOYEE LEAVE PAYABLE

Annual leave is earned by full-time staff on the basis from four to eight hours per semi-monthly pay period. Unused annual leave is payable upon employee termination up to a maximum 240 hours. Certain employees exempt from overtime are granted compensatory time for hours worked beyond regular time. Unused compensatory time is also payable upon employee termination. The Executive Director may allow unused overtime to carry over to the following year and may permit unused annual leave to exceed 240 hours.

SUMMARY Future historians will describe Accreditation as a revolutionary phenomenon for 20th Century law enforcement that became a standard operating procedure for the profession during the 21st Century! As CALEA successfully finishes its nineteenth year of operation in the closing years of this millennium, its progress continues to fulfill this prophesy!

CALEA can boast many successes in 1998. The four founding organizations reaffirmed their commitment and support. Attendance at the three annual meetings continued to grow due in part to the ever-increasing number of candidate agencies arriving for accreditation review. However, other attractions, like two training days, exhibits, resource rooms and participation with Commissioners as they conduct the business of CALEA, have appeal. Staff and host agency efficiency in facilitating meeting activities has been perfected. Staff has doubled its attention on the first-time attendee, offering more hands-on involvement and a luncheon opportunity to interact with commissioners and staff. Assessors now earn CEU credits for successful completion of the new- and refresher-training courses. To meet the increased demand of attendees, future training agendum will be expanded to three days and vendors will be encouraged to exhibit at every meeting.

The prudent management of resources continues to be a CALEA priority. As the enclosed Charlton & Associates’ report on 1998 financial activities reveals, CALEA continues to conduct its fiscal obligations responsibly. Positive fund balance growth was achieved. Attentive investment portfolio scrutiny during the year’s bullish periods, resulted in respectable returns. Modest staff growth was made, office space was secured and renovated to meet needs of another five years, and equipment was added or upgraded consistent with planned needs. Marketing efforts resulted in achieving positive enlistment of agencies seeking initial- and re-accreditation.

During the year, CALEA also prepared itself for service in the next millennium. It published and on-time-delivered its 4th Edition Standards Manual for use on January 1, 1999. It gave assurance of Y2K readiness. It initiated meetings with many of the state accreditation programs to foster partnerships that capture the benefits of all program efforts. Work in the coming year will expand this focus on forging cooperative relationships and moving toward a confederation of grass root organizations working under the larger CALEA umbrella.

The successes of 1998 pave the way for the final year of this century and the year in which CALEA will celebrate its 20th Anniversary. We have come a long way!
