Joint Accreditation

Public Safety is a nationally-accredited law enforcement organization.

Public Safety is accredited by two independent, nationally-recognized accrediting agencies: The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and the International Association of Campus Law Enforcement Accreditation Commission (IACLEA).

CALEA Accreditation

After conducting an inspection, assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) awarded the Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation to the College of Charleston Department of Public Safety.
